The addition of the earthquake bar not introduces a new variation, make sure to educate the Athletes on why. The Earthquake bar give us an additional variation to prevent accommodation (plateauing). The instability of the bar requires additional shoulder stabilization; preventing shoulder injuries and improving mobility.

From the rack. use red bands to hang Kbs and metal plates from the bar. Do not choke the band around the KB/metal plates, this will increase the length of the band increasing the ‘wobbliness’ of the bar. Place the band through the KB or metal plate and both ends onto the bar. Back rack the barbell, step back and push press the bar overhead to perform OHS.
