I bought 1 of these because I have creaky shoulders & could not do back squats with a regular bar; I was using a safety squat bar & a homemade belt squat & they were fine, but i wanted to be able to do back squats. The extra length on this is a game-changer for me, and the build quality is excellent. I got mine in cerakote; I think you forgot to tmention tat option.
I couldn't agree more. I have some decently wide shoulders and squat low bar, so any time I've tried to squat with my texas power bar I get this horrible pain in my anterior delts. I'm stoked to be able add this bar to my collection. I did completely forget that they have that option. Which is actually really important for garage gym owners as it can help with the longevity of the bar.
I've actually recently heard of a couple of people doing that. I think that would be a great idea and something I'll be trying soon. The bigger diameter would also be better for long term hand health since it's not as much direct pressure.

What are your thoughts on using this squat bar for chest as well. I like the fact the additional diameter will help your grip.

Another secret for opening them is you don’t have to the blade out all the way. One or two clicks should be deep enough.

Hey coach, how is it squatting in front of the rack and missing? The straps do a good job? Don't throw you forwards?
