NEUTRAL BAR PLACEMENT
With a safety squat bar, the weight is positioned in the centre of gravity. When first using the Riot Olympic Safety Squat Bar, it may feel as if the weight is a bit in the front, but it's actually somewhere between a back squat and front squat, in a neutral position.

The safety bar is also ideal for training when having injuries or in a recovery process. Limited shoulder mobility is also something where an SSB can be practical. BUT don’t think it’s just a rehab bar. The strongest lifters incorporate this special barbell into their training schedules. Because of its positioning, you’ll be squatting with a more upright back and increased taxation of your anterior chain. It allows for slightly more weight to be moved than conventional.

KNURLING FOR SAFE GRIP
Even though the shape is different, the bar can be racked with most hooks. The diameter of the bar is 50mm at the sleeves and bar shaft. Comfortable and securely: the grip is knurled.

IMPROVED: ROBUST PADS
The new pads are made in a one-piece way with a strong Velcro in the back and of synthetic leather. They’re tight fitted and robust, so also with heavy loads it will provide comfortable cushioning.

In case you want to upgrade your old pad or need to replace the pads, you’ll find the individual & improved pads here.

Safety Bar

My new Riot Safety Bar from Strength Shop is quality. Well made and well balanced with decent padding.
Compared to most this is far superior as are other bars from Strength Shop.

Safety squat bar

This is the best value high quality bar I could find. Sure, there are better bars, but you’ll pay 3x for a bar only marginally better for an average lifter using intermediate weights. Having said that, the bar has been tested over 300kg!
Balance is good and the padding is good without getting in the way or influencing where the bar sits. Just note that the handles are **** in so should be checked regularly or maybe thread locked.
