Featuring padded neck supports, the Olympic Safety Squat bar is designed to provide ultimate safety and comfort throughout your squat workouts. The handles remove the strain from your shoulders, wrists and elbows, whilst the added benefit of the plates being in line with the torso prevents leaning forward under heavy loads and allows correct form when squatting. The Olympic Safety Squat Bar’s rotating ends with needle bearings provide a more secure grip while relieving the stress on your wrists. PLEASE NOTE: The Olympic bar is 2″ diameter and requires Olympic weight plates. Plates and collars are sold separately.
