VEVOR Safety Squat Bar, 700 & 1500 LBS, Plus 500 LBS Hex Barbell Trap Bar, Ideal for Squats, Deadlifts, Lunges, Rehab

It's a great piece for a home gym on a budget. If you're not sure if you're ready to spend hundreds on a top notch bar, this is a great entry-level safety squat bar.

This is an absolute game changer for me. I have some shoulder issues, making squats difficult. This bar has changed that completely. It's well built and the handles and offset are perfect. It feels comfortable on my shoulders. It has given me the ability to do squats without pain in my shoulders and I think my weight will go up quickly. Very happy with everything about this bar. It's a great addition.

This is not a great bar. My only real complaint is that I did not see anything that said it was a three piece bolt together bar and it rattles a little bit. That being said, it feels sturdy and the padding is comfortable. If you are setting up your gym and you think you might want a safety squat bar, or you need one because of a shoulder injury or something, but you’re short on cash, this is a good one to try out for the price. If you have used a safety squat bar and you know you want one, spend the extra money. But it works fine. There’s nothing wrong with it.

This squat bar is great to reduce back pain. The design causes the weight to be lower and forward compared to straight bars. That, combined with the handles, retains the bar on my shoulders enough to allow use of one arm to steady myself as I go down and up. Then I don't have to lean forward so much to stabilize, so less back stress. Also, when I use this for calf raises, the weight is far enough forward that I don't have to hold the bar at all - it just stays on. Now I can use my hands to steady myself against the squat rack. Sturdy construction for at least a couple hundred lbs, and I don't doubt 700lb rating, though I will never test it.

I have a chronic shoulder problem and I can squat again!!! LOVE IT!!!!

I should have read more reviews. As other reviewers have noted, Vevor has a QC issue. They do not include the hardware, which is needed to use the bar. I notified them on 7/1/26 of the issue. Shared pictures, ASINs, model numbers, invoice, etc that same day. Several days later they emailed me a picture of the hardware. That's helpful. They asked if I needed anything else. Uh, yeah. The missing hardware that we've talking about. We are now 2 weeks since I notified them and the bar is just sitting on my gym floor, unable to be used. Vevor emailed me on the 12th saying they have the hardware and will send it in 1-2 days. Well, it has been 3 days and no movement. Embarrassing.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is a very nice bar. If you have ever dealt with medial epicondylitis or golfers elbow, lifters elbow then you know how painful it can be. I could no longer do heavy high bar squats because of the compressive strain on elbow. Got tired of front squats ( shout out mike israetel ) and got this bar. I am now squatting again and am very pleased. The position of my arms allows me to do so without the pain. As for the weight limit of 700 lbs, if you’re throwing 7 plates on each side you don’t need squat advice from me. Enjoy, quality bar. It’s worth mentioning that if you’re an established lifter, it is rather odd to rack this bar at first. Because of the offset of the bar it is not setting where you ”think” it is. Would recommend doing a proper warm up, which you should be doing anyway, to acclimate to this new angle.

This bar is okay. When lining up the holes, they produce crooked handles. Also, I’m not a welder, but this joint looks weak. However, it was only a little over $100 so I’m not expecting perfection. As long as it doesn’t break on me, it’s not a bad deal.

Für Sportler, die "normale" Handhaltung aufgrund z.B. Schulterproblemen nicht mehr ausführen können. Gute und sichere Kniebeuge hervorragend möglich.

This was by far a great addition to my home gym. I recommend this product to anyone. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. It makes you feel very stable and balanced when squatting, perfect for anybody, especially for thoe with shoulder mobility issues. A+++ rating

Love this this. Makes going past failure great by pushing off the legs.

This has been an amazing addition to my gym. With a steel plate in my shoulder this padded safety bar makes my sets much easier to do than with a regular bar. Highly recommend.

We are a little older but we appreciate how much easier this makes doing squats. My wife has torn rotator cuff and this is the only way she can support a bar. Feels solid and strong
