i have found, through my own training and training others...the ssb is harder than regular squats and if your upper back is weak even a little.....will fold you


This is correct. Most can only SSB squat around 85% of what they can back squat for this reason. It is why it is so popular with Pro Strongmen. Huge carryover to their events that also require a strong upper back and core.

SSB also has the highest carry over to sprint speed, especially if doing on a box due to the way you must stay upright to complete the lift.

the titan is a clone of the elitefts but an upgrade over the painted weight collars


That's what I hear. I bought an Elitefts SSB shortly before the Titan V2.0 came out .

Been happy with it but also would have been happy paying less for a comparable bar

Sucks for Elitefts that they spent the time and money on trial and error for another company to directly copy it but that's what Chinese companies do
