Olympic Safty Squat Barbell - 2 Spring Collars
The safety squat bar is a specialty bar, which typically has arms that come off the bar outside its neck and is covered with thick padding where the bar rests. This allows the bar to sit more comfortably on the neck and shoulders and also gives you bars to hold onto.
If you lack shoulder mobility or feel pain during a traditional back squat, this is a great option as it is much nicer on the shoulders due to the yoke attached to the front of the bar for you to grab.
This bar will also change the mechanics of the squat and force you to use more hamstring, glute and back muscles than a traditional squat. This makes it an excellent choice to build up your deadlift as well as your squat.
The bushings fit between the bar and the sleeve and reduce the friction between the outer and inner sleeve, making the spinning movement smoother.
