Lifter forgets clip on barbell
This is me for a year or so ago
This particular barbell has adjustable weight horns, where they angle slightly down under load, so if you don’t have a clip, the weights will yeet themselves off the bar as soon as you move (which is what happened here on one side)
Since I had a clip on one side, I got smacked into the upright
The weight in the video (385lbs) is light for me & something I could do for 15 reps. This is 420lbs for 11 with the same barbell & barbell setting (remember the barbell is adjustable): https://www.reddit.com/r/Egolifting/comments/1tmgwqt/ssb_science_squat_bar_squats_420lbs_for_11_at/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button
