I picked this up after a shoulder injury to be able to continue squatting. The pads are comfortable and the handle position allows me to move reasonable weight without pain in my shoulder.

The angle of the bar sits the plates forward to something similar to a front squat load position, so this will continue to be useful as a front squat alternative with my less-than-stellar shoulder mobility.

The bar itself and pads are in top notch condition having been very sensibly packed for shipping. All in all, great product and service!

I had surgery 3 months ago to reattach a torn biceps tendon and my shoulder mobility is not great still. This safety squat barbell has been amazing to get me doing squats again without the painful arm position. The included pads are a bonus to keep things comfortable around your neck too.

Great bar for price point. Comfy, balances and more control than standard flat bar.

The Force USA Olympic Safety Squat Bar is a welcome addition to my gym. I find the handle attachment to the bar supports stabilisation during various squatting exercises. The bar itself is well padded providing comfort during my workouts.
I find the customer service at Gym and Fitness second to none, staff here are knowledgeable and always helpful.
I highly recommend this product and business.

I have limited shoulder mobility and this bar makes it possible to do barbell squats
