PRODUCT DETAILS:

The Safety Squat Barbell is the perfect tool to add to your specialty barbell arsenal, if you're wanting versatility in your training regimens. Primarily designed to force the athlete into engaging in a more upright position in the squat which forces more core engagement in your lifts. If you have shoulder injuries or upper body mobility issues this is the barbell of choice for many athletes.

The vinyl-wrapped high-density pad reduces pressure off your neck, distributes the weight evenly across your shoulders and upper back, and will help improve your overall lifting. The handles are volcano knurled and aggressive allowing for optimal grip when lifting.  The positioning of the handles allows people with shoulder injuries or mobility issues to lift more comfortably when compared to lifting with a standard barbell.  This barbells sleeves are 2” in diameter and work with Olympic styled plates.

Barely missed the mark

Overall good bar. My lone complaint is that the bar is not wide enough to fit on a Rogue rack with Ghost Roller J Cups or the Darko anchor for storage.

My workaround was to flip the j cups and anchor inside out which I'm not the biggest fan of but beats eating return shipping costs I suppose.

This might give the Rep SSB the edge for now but if addressed this could be the best value bar no one talks about.

I will add that I received mismatched handles but Giant replaced them at no additional charge.

One of my bars still had wrapper around the foam that was inside the vinyl while the other 2 I received did not.

Could be a quality control concern but nothing major here.

Nice bar

A solid bar with a good finish and adequate padding. The handles shipped with a loctite-type compound on them. I screwed them, slid on the padding, and it was good to go! The only potential negative is the sleeves do not rotate, if that is your preference - that is why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, otherwise happy with this product, would buy again.

Squats Without Shoulder Pain!

If you have shoulder issues or prior surgeries, this is the perfect solution. You can control where the weight sits without causing pain, and get back to good squat form. Thanks to GIANT for stocking high quality equipment that works!
