The Safety Squat Bar 2000 places less stress on your vertebrae than a standard straight barbell, making it a safe option for intense squat programs or maximum load lifts. By placing your hands in a neutral grip, stress to the hand and shoulder joints is also reduced. Additionally, the weight is evenly distributed through the PVC pads across your shoulders and back. The offset angle between the weight and handles keeps the load on the centerline of your body, allowing for deeper squats. Using a safety squat bar, sometimes called a yoke bar, allows users to increase their maximum working weight compared to a traditional squat.
Safety Squat Bars are also beneficial for users who experience pain or discomfort during conventional barbell squats and are safe for those recovering from arm and shoulder injuries.
Features knurled handles for a secure grip, black coating on the shaft with hard chrome sleeves, and firm PVC foam padding. The distance between the cambers allows for easy racking and un-racking. Weighs 70 LBS (32 KG).
