It's comfortable, but it moves more of the stress of the lift to the quads, and upper / mid back. If that's not something you want, it's some thing to think about.

Personal preference, however, I have used that for years for front and back squats, more comfortable than a bar across your delts when doing fronts for sure.

Ignore uberman on this front. Yes, that's a great piece of equipment for squatting. Cambered bars, which I use, are excellent too.
Either way, you could use a sandbag and derive more benefit than a seated leg/hamstring curl machine.

black friday has to be the biggest collection of fat asses i've seen in a while.
at least on new years eve, it's the hot skinny people that go out.

I have one. What are you hoping to get out of it? If you have low back issues from squatting, this thing won't help, it'll actually put more stress down there. The weights swing out in front of the bar when you pull the yoke down. Good for your shoulders, if that's an issue.
That said, if you turn it around it makes for an interesting variation on the front squat.

FWIW, Branch appears to be using one here (starting at about the 1-minute mark):

Thanks for the input guys.

I was thinking it would take some of the stress off my lower back since it seems like you don't have to lean forward as much. Also seems like it would be easier on the knees for the same reason.

A person can stay on Wendover alone and see enough fatasses to fill calendars for a milleneum.

This is why I stay off Wendover I hate that road.

barbell squats no matter the apparatus will fuck up your lower back
as you get stronger
you add more weight
then you fuck up your back
because your lower back isnt designed to get endlessly powerful

I have to hit Wendover to visit Golden Corral but otherwise can avoid it most of the time.

I can't speak for the Rogue brand, but in general, I LOVE the yoke bars.
I personally use them for standing calve raises.. would load it with 100lb plates and do 600-800lb standing calve raises in a power rack.
I use them for clients.. usually older clients and girls... who have a hard time squatting with a bar at first.

Our store was near there. Across from BestBuy. Stuffed myself at GC many times.

me and my buddies call any pad on the bar on the squat rack... the pussy pad

I love the safety squat bar. I can do more weight and squat lower with one. Our gym has the old school kind that weighs 90 or 95 lbs and it's always lying on the floor somewhere. It's too difficult for me alone to get it into position so I generally end up with the regular bar.

Sounds like you're not using your hips and glutes correctly and possibly weak hammies.

My first gym must have had the original bar that Fred Hatfield personally used. That thing was old, rusty, the pad was held together with electrical tape, and it weighed a ton. It was a workout just removing it from the stand and setting it up in the rack.
I used it for a while after hurting my shoulder, but preferred regular barbell squats. I would also see guys use the safety bar for good-mornings and hyper-extensions among other things.
