Buffalo Bar....

[The Red Dragon]

You can also do cambered rows when placing that under the bench. The good thing about the U shape is that you get more of a range of motion...if you're that flexible.

you can bench with it for a greater ROM i think

slide that bitch under the bench, toss some a few plates on both sides, and do shrugs till your traps look like Holyfields.........great isolation - no cheating

If I ever saw someone do that with a buffalo bar I would probably try to kill them, plus the buffalo bar is much thicker than a normal bar almost 2" so shruggin that bitch is not as easy on the grip as you think. the bar weighs 52lbs and is bent from collar to collar to let is sit naturally on ones traps and rear delts. For squater who are bigger in stature it helps alleviate any shoulder problem by squating often. I use it because it sits a little lower and throws my balance off a little, basically it makes me lean a little bit forward compared to my standar style which in turn activates the glutes and hamstring more and allows you to realy stay tight with proper arch
