I am on week 9 of the 12 week strength template. I see that day 4 has pin squats programmed. I am not sure I can do a pin squat with a regular squat bar. I have to grip the bar at the edge of the collars. My hands will be in the way of the pins. I have tried several times over the years using a closer grip on squats but end up with terrible elbow pain over time no matter how I adjust my grip and wrist position. I have been using a rogue SSB bar for my supplemental squats for the last 4 weeks. Would using the SSB bar for the PIN squat be a good alternative or is there another variation that would be better suited? Thanks for any advice and all of the information you share. Thanks
I’d probably just do Paused squats.
Sounds good. Thanks
