GymRatZ Safety Squat Bar

Heavy, heavy-duty Safety Squat Bar. The rollers are thick and durable and the bar's constructed from heavy-gauge steel. GymRatZ Safety Squat Bar  is a great tool for anyone suffering from rotator cuff problems or had a shoulder reconstruction and wishing to squat.

Similarly to other inventions like the much cheaper Manta Ray, the Safety Squat Bar helps to distribute the weight across your shoulders and tends to make the weight sit slightly higher. Subsequently, you don't get the discomfort some can find with a bar and most users report more emphasis on their quads.

Another GymRatZ first. We were the first UK manufacturer to produce a Safety Squat Bar in response to a request by London Irish Rugby squad fitness coach. Having since provided many UK athletics organisations, elite-level sports clubs and National and International squads with the Safety Squat Bar it's certainly well tried and tested.

Note: The pictures above currently show our safety squat bar without the handles fitted, but the bars are supplied with handle extensions that screw into the end of the pads. Saying that, we have the angles so well calculated that you can squat with any weight on the safety squat bar without needing to even hold the handles. (See Video with handles fitted)

Don't be fooled by imitations, we develped our safety squat bar in conjunction with and for the elite rugby players of the London Irish Squad so we know it's the dogs ......

IMPORTANT NOTES:

All GymRatZ Gym Equipment is made to order and, subsequently, each order regarded as a special order. This means that lead times will vary and we request genuine orders and enquiries only. 

For use with olympic (2") plates only (sold separately).

Safety Bar - Safe squats

Review submitted on 16th January 2012 by Matthew Frayne

Got my new safety bar which arrived in perfect condition.

Tried it out and very pleased: easy to use, balances perfectly and very comfortably on the shoulders. I have an old shoulder injury and am rather stiff in the shoulders; this avoids pulling my shoulders out of position so no more struggling to get hold of the bar, so now I can concentrate on squats and working my legs and not pins and needles in my shoulders and wondering if I am going to pull a back muscle. Brilliant!

Great Bar

Review submitted on 2nd July 2010 by Mike Towers

I've been thinking about buying a safety squat bar even since I saw one being used by West Side Barbell and finally decided to buy one when I started getting bicep pain while squatting with a regular bar. First thing I'd like to say is that this is a quality bar which feels like it's been built to take years of punishment not one of those cheap bars that are bent within a few months. I must say I got some strange looks in the gym when I first used the bar but it's now become very popular especially with those who have shoulder problems and we've got a few of them in the gym! And finally, the service I got from GymRatz was first class and I'm definitely going to be buying some more bits from them in the future.

Squatting comfort!

Review submitted on 6th May 2010 by Matt

Made for elite athletes recovering from shoulder injuries (shoulder reconstruction, rotator cuff injury etc.) to enable them to return to squatting. The Safety Squat Bar's also incredibly popular for general squatting use - it's very comfortable!
