The Squat Bar

Why Choose a Dedicated Squat Bar?

A Squat bar goes beyond what's merely sufficient—it’s designed to make your heavy lifts more stable, secure, and efficient. Here's why investing in a purpose-built squat bar can elevate your training.

Our squat bar features a 32mm shaft diameter paired with aggressive full knurling, providing a larger contact surface across your upper back. This increased grip area minimizes bar slippage and enhances bar control throughout the movement—especially under heavy loads.

The 2400mm total bar length and 425mm loadable sleeves offer ample room for heavier weight plates and smoother racking, reducing distractions and improving overall confidence during lifts.
