We had a nice group train together July 4th at The Strength Lab. We finished up a 3 week wave of box squats vs the EliteFTS Strong Bands. Week 1 - worked up to a triple, Week 2 a double, and this week was a heavy single. Due to some cranky elbows in our training crew, we switched to the safety squat bar this week.
The issue with the SSB and the heavy band tension was that it was tough to get the bar in a good position to unrack it.
