BetterU News - The Sting Ray for Front Squats

The following information is a supplement to the article entitled "The "Sting Ray" For Front Squats - Training Equipment Review" found in BetterU News, Issue #30. This page shows the different racking techniques and the Sting Ray in action.

The "Clean" Racking Style

This is the "Clean" racking style where you hold the bar as though you are doing a narrow-grip shoulder press.
The barbell is cradled in your hands and your elbows are forward.
This style can be hard on the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints.

The "Crossed-Arms" Racking Style

This is the "Crossed-Arms" racking style. It's easier on your joints but is somewhat less stable.
The bar more easily rolls back into your throat and can dig into your shoulders.

Sting Ray Placement


These pictures demonstrate placement of the Sting Ray on the shoulders during the Front Squat movement. Elbows should be help up as high as possible during the movement.

This picture shows proper placement of the Sting Ray on the bar.

Note how the pieces are set at the same distance from the knurled (rough) surfaces on either side of the center smooth area.

This demonstrates what can happen if the pieces of the Sting Ray are placed incorrectly on the bar in the rotational aspect.

The pieces may be even in terms of spacing but must also be even in terms of their orientation on the bar.
