Sting Ray for front squat exercises $47.98
Why Do I Need a Sting Ray for front squat exercises?
Stingray for front squats develop the quadriceps better than almost
any other exercise, and the rewards are well worth the added effort.
Front leg squats are more difficult than back squats because extra
balance and coordination is required to hold the bar on the front
of your shoulders; which also enables you to maintain a more upright
posture. The Sting Ray is the answer! More emphasis is placed on
the quads while at the same time, reducing stress on the lower back,
hips and glutes. Another new device created by Advanced Fitness
which is a "godsend" for those who have massive muscular
arms greater than 17 inches, and for those who find the front squats
to be painfully unbearable on their wrists and elbows - is the 'Sting-Ray'.
The front squat is a great exercise for the athlete, bodybuilder,
powerlifter, or for people with general fitness goals. However,
the negative aspects of the movement brings a ton of excess baggage
which does not allow for the complete benefits of this exercise.
Most strength coaches prefer the Olympic clean style grip because
it gives the lifter a wider "rack" on the bar and therefore
more stability. The problem with this conventional grip is that
it's almost impossible for anyone with shoulder, elbow or wrist
problems and most lifters lack the necessary flexibility in these
joints anyway. This grip also requires external rotation of the
Humerus (upper arm bone) stressing the shoulder joint and mechanically
causing even more limits on flexibility.
The crossed arm grip has a load of downsides too: Narrow rack with
less stability, more crush to the shoulders and it's harder to keep
the bar from rolling back into the throat, or down the arms. No
wonder the front squat is usually tried once and tossed out! With
either grip, the bar can rest on the collar bone, press down on
the sternum and cause the lifter to run out of breath long before
leg strength weakens.
Now, the Sting-Ray removes all these negatives from one of the
most powerful exercises available: Lifts the bar off the collar
bone allowing full expansion of the rib cage!
Using a stringray to assist your front squat leg exercise:
- Provides easy bar control without stressing shoulder, elbow,
or wrists!
- Allows the widest rack on the body by moving the load out to
the front delt!
- Keeps the Humerus in a safe neutral position!
- Protects the lifters body so all new repair tissue goes where
you want it!
- Small and lightweight yet virtually indestructible for years
of tough service!
The Sting-Ray (as well as the Manta-Ray)
is made of a high tech polyurethane polymer. This material is flexible
enough in the upward projecting bosses to snap on and off the bar
indefinitely, but rigid enough in the thicker sections to act as
a load distributor. With the surface area of the bar increased as
much as 1600%, the biggest problem with transferring weight to the
human body is eliminated. Put this breakthrough load distribution
technology to work for you today and get your money's worth for
a change! The Sting-Ray ™ was first mentioned in Charles Poliquin's
article, "Sting-Ray Squats Really Work!" in Muscle Media,
Issue #64, December 1997.
