Description

The Forge Strength® Saftey Squat Bar is designed to make squatting safer, stronger, and more comfortable without compromising performance. Built with a cambered shaft and a padded yoke, this bar shifts the load slightly forward, promoting a more upright torso position throughout the squat. This positioning increases quad engagement, reduces strain on the lower back, and helps lifters stay balanced and strong even as fatigue sets in.

Forward-facing handles allow you to maintain a secure, natural grip in front of the body, removing stress from the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. This makes the bar especially effective for lifters with limited shoulder mobility or those training around injuries.

Comfort and stability are further enhanced with thick, high-density padding across the shoulders and neck. The three-pad design evenly distributes the load across the upper back and traps, minimising pressure and improving control under heavier weights.

Versatile and highly functional, the Forge Strength® Saftey Squat Bar is not limited to squats alone. It is equally effective for split squats, lunges, good mornings, and accessory movements, making it a valuable addition to any training setup. Whether used for strength development, hypertrophy, technique improvement, or rehabilitation, this bar delivers a safer and more efficient way to train the lower body and upper back.

Product features

• Cambered/Bent Shaft Design – The Forge Strength® Saftey Squat Bar bends where the padded yoke attaches, which is typical for SSBs and great for the individual using it; it shifts the weight slightly forward, encouraging the user to be in a more upright squat position. From this, you’ll get more quad engagement, less lower back stress, and mechanically it’s a safer position for lifters to be in. If fatigue hits during a set with a straight bar, you often fold forward. With an SSB, the camber reduces this tendency and keeps you in a stronger position.
• Forward Facing Handles - The handles extend downwards and forwards so you can hold the bar in front of you.
• Thick, High-Density Shoulder & Neck Pads - The bar has three padded sections: two shoulder pads and a neck pad. These pads help distribute weight comfortably across the traps and shoulders, reducing pressure on the neck.
• The Forge Strength® Saftey Squat Bar is ideal for anyone looking to squat with less stress on the shoulders and wrists while maintaining a more upright torso. Its design helps strengthen the quads, glutes and upper back, making it useful both for general strength training and for rehabilitation or training around shoulder injuries. It’s also highly versatile, being well-suited for exercises such as split squats, lunges and good mornings. This makes it an excellent choice for people with shoulder mobility issues, lifters aiming to improve their squat form, home-gym owners wanting a multi-purpose speciality bar, and anyone focused on hypertrophy or accessory work.
