Safety Squat Bar – The SS4
$53.99
- Spider Handles — Long, angled handles that put your hands out in front. Best for lifters who want maximum upper-body involvement, a closer feel to a straight-bar squat, or are working around serious shoulder immobility.
- Seal Row Handles — Neutral-grip, knurled handles designed for (you guessed it) seal rows. Grab a Seal Row Pad to unlock its full potential. One bar, now a back exercise too.
- Chain Handles — The most free-moving option. Chains let your hands find their natural position each rep, reducing elbow and wrist stress for lifters who feel even the fixed handles are too rigid.All four styles screw onto the same threaded posts. Swap in 30 seconds, store in a drawer.
Product details
Your spine has opinions. Pinched shoulders, mashed wrists, a low-bar position your mobility hates? The straight bar can be a tax on the rest of your training. The SS4 safety squat bar gets out of the way and lets you squat heavy without paying interest.
1,500 LBS / 680 KG OF CAPACITY. 100,000 PSI tensile steel in the shaft. Needle-bearing sleeves that the competition reserves for bars priced twice as high. (We didn't think you should have to pay double for sleeves that spin right.)
Built right where it counts. Black titanized finish on the shaft AND the sleeves. A high-density shoulder pad that's easy to rack, has great trap contact, and no bar roll.
PICK YOUR HANDLES. PICK YOUR WORKOUT.
The SS4 ships with a pair of Straight Handles — your everyday squat handle, 7.25" of useable length, knurled for a locked-in grip. Upgrade the setup (and the exercise list) from there:

One bar. Ten-plus exercises. Squats, good mornings, RDLs, Hatfields, lunges, JM presses, calf raises, hip thrusts. Loop on a set of
resistance bands

weightlifting chains
