If I didn’t already own REP’s SSB I would absolutely go for this one. They look almost identical. Super good buy for that price. Thanks for the great review.
The only thing I don't like about this is it doesn't list the load rating on the product page. I do like that they list the bar weight on the end cap and that they made the sleeves scratch resistant. Great review once again!
Your videos are informative and fun to watch. AND, you have the ability to find and review products that have value WAY above their price point! Thanks!
Yeah, threading the needle is really a lot more work than one would think in the home gym space. But the secret finds are out there. What you up to this weekend?
Great video! I'm super hesitant to get an SSB for the reason you mentioned - it does one thing. I did lightly try a couple SSBs at HGC but I wasn't blown away with them, maybe I need to try again sometime. Another typical issue I found is most of these are quite long and that becomes problematic for me, a basement dweller who likes to store my barbells vertically, this one being too long for my space also. But maybe I'll reconsider at the next HGC which I'll get to meet you at!
No brainer price. Yes4all also sells a bar on Amazon cheaper than Titan. Only issue is storage- not something you want to bring in and out of a rack. Highly recommend barbell anchor storage on top of rack.
If you ever find the extra change in between the couch cushions, I would love your take on the Marrs Bar. Currently saving up for one and you already know I’m chhhheeeecking in for validation. Good stuff man 💪🏻
Looks a lot like my Giant lifting SSB. The black knurled handles, pad, and the bushing in the sleeves. It stacks up well against Rep but Rep has a better Pad
That is an awesome deal👍it looks like a clone of the REP fitness SSB. I love my SSB its saved my sanity I just had carpul tunnel surgery 😢 and haven't been able to do anything except squat hands free with the SSB. Full disclosure Ive never done a JM press😂
@@NoFate247 it's all depends, there's two types of surgery endoscopic or open palm. I opted for the endoscopic smaller incision quicker recovery, so hopefully I'll be back to normal lifting in couple of months.
A few things to clear up... 1) Your Promo Code does not work. 2) The price you stated does not include shipping. 3) Rep Fitness has free shipping. 4) The total price for the Safety Squat Bar 2000 w/ Shipping: $316.67. 5) The total price for the Rep Fitness Safety Squat Bar w/ Free Shipping: $354.90. 6) The $38.23 extra is most likely worth it for the better padding, better knurled handles, and the known static rating of 1,500lbs. I really enjoy your videos and often make decisions based on your reviews, but I needed to clear this up because the money saved isn't worth the purchase over the Rep Fitness SSB. Again, love your channel...but this review didn't hit the mark. Keep up the great work and Cheers from AZ🌵! P.S. I'm still trying to decide on which SSB to get...🤣
Great post and thanks for watching. I will say when I bought it they had free shipping. I just checked now and they want to charge a fortune to ship a $200 bar. So def. don't buy it. I'd wait until Nov 1st, lots of companies are going to start dropping deals early this year.
I love your idea of finding the best budget-friendly options while still being able to achieve our fitness goals in our daily routines. I think you'll love our Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Cream products and would be a great fit for a partnership. Let's discuss further and send you some products to try out.
I like the price and finishes. I kinda cringe with my barbells not having endcaps and being mystery chinese bars. I got a newborn coming in January. Do you got any advice for training with a newborn in the house?
Congrats on the upcoming little one! Best piece of advice I wish I knew going into it........Don't train after the kid goes to sleep. Train early in the AM. Front load it in your day so when the S hits the fan, you have a chance to push out your training before it's canceled all together. Plus you'll have more energy in the AM than PM (With how little sleep you'll be getting).
Haven’t seen a review on Kensui Tokyo trap bar that appears to offer a lot of versatility and utility including a version of SSB (without pad). Wondering how balanced it is and if any of the moves advertised feel awkward. Any feedback appreciated.
How often do you use your safety squat barbell?

At least once a week currently
SSB is my favorite specialty bar
I think multigrip is mine but dang it's close

@@murdog04 thanks for checking in. Any big plans for Sunday

I would like the load rating but let's face it, it'll definitely be double whatever my max dream weight is
Your videos are informative and fun to watch.
AND, you have the ability to find and review products that have value WAY above their price point!
Thanks!
Appreciate your support, lord knows I work hard on them. What do you want to see me review next?
Solid review. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a good deal. I appreciate that you find good value options outside of the POS category.
Yeah, threading the needle is really a lot more work than one would think in the home gym space. But the secret finds are out there. What you up to this weekend?
A new challenger has entered the arena!
Yes!!!!!!
solid for the price! huge fan
I'm a huge fan of your videos too! How often are you squating these days?
$200 seems more than reasonable, feel like GetRX is constantly putting out good stuff. When you smacked the pad.. I was sold.
Ha ha they have been doing good work lately for sure. Do you smack the bags of dirt at home depot?
great video! looks like a solid SSB. will have to save this video for when I get one!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great price, looks awesome too. 70lbs! That’s hot 👏👏👏
I swear best time to be a budget home gym owner
@@NoFate247 absolutely man, catching up on your videos 💰
Great information here. Having nicer knurled handles at that price point definitely is what sticks out to me.
Yeah I was surprised too. Knurling was well done too

Agreed very hard to store vertically!!!

I own the Yes4All ssb, and it's awesome same exact bar as the Titan v2 and like you I added the Darko lifting anchor for storage 🏋♂️
Yeah those barbell anchors are genius
Already have the rep ssb. I use it once or twice weekly. Love it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it! Rep ssb is great, they really did a fantastic job designing it
If you ever find the extra change in between the couch cushions, I would love your take on the Marrs Bar. Currently saving up for one and you already know I’m chhhheeeecking in for validation. Good stuff man 💪🏻
HA HA HA - If I find that kinda change between my couch cushions I might be in Jeff Bezos house. Marrs bar seems amazing but that price tag doesn't
Nice shirt! 👕
I try 😂😂😂😂
I use my SSB weekly for good mornings.
Which one do you have?
@@NoFate247 eliteFTS SS Yoke Bar
Looks a lot like my Giant lifting SSB. The black knurled handles, pad, and the bushing in the sleeves. It stacks up well against Rep but Rep has a better Pad
$200 is a heck of a price
They might be made in the same factory :) or even assembly line. I agree the Rep pad was better but money always a key factor.
@@NoFate247 yeah
For the price, it gets the job done and I think it decent my guy!
Exactly! I never feel like I'm missing out on anything another SSB is delivering. What you got set for the rest of the summer?
That is an awesome deal👍it looks like a clone of the REP fitness SSB. I love my SSB its saved my sanity I just had carpul tunnel surgery 😢 and haven't been able to do anything except squat hands free with the SSB. Full disclosure Ive never done a JM press😂
Never done a jam press myself. How long is the recovery take for that?
@@NoFate247 it's all depends, there's two types of surgery endoscopic or open palm. I opted for the endoscopic smaller incision quicker recovery, so hopefully I'll be back to normal lifting in couple of months.
@bigk2080 speedy recovery. Smart to keep training as much as you can
Looks like a decent SS bar, crazy good value at 200. Wonder how it compares to the Giant SSB
I think it might be the exact same
Great find. Seems line a solid SSB at a great price
Yeah performed way better than the price tag indicated

Can you take the handles off to do JM press?

@@fitnesstruth1 haven't seen or used it yet. If I get a chance to I definitely will. What's the price point
Right on. 299 price point and they just did a 30% off for 48hours promo.
That bar is out of Stock.
Dang! figures I put out a video highlighting the bar and everyone runs and buys it. Can you setup notification of when it'll come back in stock?
@@NoFate247 Seems so and thanks a lot for the video!
