Safety Squat Olympic Bar Reviews

4.9 Rating 530 Reviews

The Safety Squat Bar is a specialty training barbell outfitted with shoulder and arm pads to reduce unnecessary strain on your shoulders. As your weightlifting grows more intensive over time, the pain and discomfort of a traditional barbell squat will increase on your shoulders. That's why this Safety Squat Bar is so effective for beginners as well as enthusiasts.The bend of the weighted sleeve helps to stabilize your center of gravity, by lowering where the weight plates are added. This balance is key to increasing the effectiveness of your barbell squats. Comfortable hand grips give you more control of the bar during the lift, boosting the security and safety of the exercise.

“This is easily the best item you can buy from Titan. For the price it's the best SSB. So if your looking for one stop your search”

“This bar has been touted as the Elite FTS clone. I personally had never used one of these bars before but after seeing all the positive reviews from experts everywhere I took the plunge and am very happy with this bar. No complaints. The only thing I have to note is that some have reported snap rings on the end caps but mine comes with a branded Titan plug on the ends. Unlike some other cheaper bars where the plugs easily pop out these seem to be in there pretty good. Seven thumbs up!”

“I have used a few different SSBs in different gyms. After building out my basement gym I wanted one. When Titan released the V2 version which looks just like the Elite FTS SSB I pulled the trigger. I am glad I did. The bar came impeccably packaged with foam. The welds aren't the prettiest and I am not crazy about the chrome finish but that is just minor aesthetics. What I really cared about was function. They nailed the camber on this thing. The screw on handles are the perfect length. The pad is the right amount of firmness and super supportive. The entire bar is well balanced. I can do squats with it hands free and it stays in position without pitching me forward and trying to roll off my back. I love it and for the price I cannot recommend it enough. I used to argue that the V2 Hefty bench was the best thing Titan made, but now I can unequivocally say it is the V2 SSB.”

“It took me a while to get this bar due to it selling out quick and me being indecisive when it was in stock. Finally I decided to pull the trigger and got it for $176 on sale. One of the best additions I've made to my home gym. Pros - Bar is half the price or more compared to competitors!!! -bar is very well built and sturdy, padding is good too. -It serves its purpose of taking the shoulders/arms out and leaving them in a neutral position and lets you focus on getting low on squats. -I feel like the bar is a bit more front loaded than a regular squat which is good to have some versatility and mix it up. -It basically takes out having to center yourself like you would with a standard barbell (something I have trouble with especially with bars with no center knurl) Cons -The package came in overall good shape but did have 1 tear that was taped up at some point and I believe that caused some moisture to go in and cause a little bit of rust on the bar. I brushed it off with a metal wire brush and came right off”

“This rugged SSB is one of the most-used bars in our gym. Its low price made me hesitant to buy it but I'm very happy I did. The Titan SSB compares very favorably with the EFS welded SSB I purchased years ago (my all-time favorite specialty bar), amazing to me since the Titan bar cost about 1/3 the EFS bar.”

“I'l let everyone else comment on the bar itself, but you have probably heard the bad reviews about Titan's shipping. Well, my SSB just arrived the the packaging was still in great shape and once I opened it, the foam cushions were untouched - I was nervous about this, but my experience was great. (I live in Dallas for reference)”

“This is an excellent buy for the home gym. The design fits my shoulders well and everything works the way it should. The shipping was fast and the packaging was good. If you're looking to change up your squats don't hesitate to buy this bar.”

“After looking for a safety squat bar on several websites, the price of this bar was easily the cheapest. So going with the theory "you get what you pay for", I figured this would be a knock off of a good durable safety squat bar. To my utter surprise, this bar is durable, padding is thick, and assembly took 60 seconds to attach the handles. Once again, Titan you came through.”
