Squats!! We are performing a Hex Squat. A Hex bar is a modified barbell that allow those with back problems perform squats without putting strain on the back and shoulders. This is also a great way to Include variety Into your routine. Because hex bar squats use the same motion as standard barbell squats, they work the same muscle groups. Unlike standard barbell squats, hex bars place the distribution of weight at hip-level. This lessens the stress on your back, reduces spinal compression, helps you maintain a straight back throughout the exercise and may reduce the risk of injury. Hex bar squats cater to those with back and joint issues. Even for those without these issues, the hex bar may allow lifters to use more weight due to its focus on stability and balance, as we found out after 5 sets! #ambassadorambition #goalcrushing #fortheloveofsquats
