The arched squat bar has a sleek design and great tensile strength. The hard chrome finish on the sleeve and grip makes the surface smoother and the loading and unloading of the weight plates easier and smoother. The medium grade knurled design on the handle surface improves grip and comfort, allowing for a firm grip even with sweaty palms during workouts. Proprietary bend is designed for squatting and pressing movements and the curved bar reduces stress on the shoulders, biceps and back, reducing the risk of injury.
