Black Widow front squat bar

Anybody ever used one of these?

I try to avoid gimmicks and gizmos, but my wrists have never been flexible enough to rack a classic front squat. Cross arm and straps have never felt stable.

I tolerate Zerchers okay, but want to do as close to a real front squat as possible.

I also have the problem of not being able to get my hands into position to do front squats. I am considering getting a front squat/zercher squat harness.

From Titan for $99.
Less investment, dual purpose, probably less money lost if you decide you don't need it and need to sell. I have never used any of them so cannot provide a review but may order the Titan model.

Why?

Zombie squats or get an SSB and flip it around. Plus you get an SSB out it.

Why in particular are you interested?

I already have a SSB. Wondering if this would be better/different.

My understanding is that the Marrs bar gives you the shoulder reprieve of the SSB without the getting pushed forward effect, so effectively you can squat like you would with a straight bar but without it being harder.

Bingo

I ordered a few weeks ago. Almost immediately regretted it because it’s probably useless or SSB maybe better option. I liked the idea of having axle bar so that swayed me a little. Well, It arrived and have to say I like it a lot after one use with light weight and lots of reps.

I like front squats over back squats so I think I will use it. Certainly not for everybody but if you have extra $, not a bad purchase.

I saw on IG a while ago that when Dan Green wants the pulled forward feeling of front squats without actually doing them he uses a SSB upside down and not backwards with the pad in front like you see a lot of people doing. Said it mimics them much better.

I don't have a SSB so I can't check but it might be something to look into.
