What is a SQUAT bar and why would you need one?
Are you squatting 300 lbs? Our StrongArmPower Bar will work great for you. But if you are doing 500, 600, or 1000 lbs or more, really serious weight, you should be using a squat bar.
A squat bar is thicker than a regular bar, 32 mil compared to the 28 or 29 of most power bars, making it much stiffer. When you hit the bottom of a heavy squat, you don't want that bar flexing downwards, making the weight feel even heavier. It's also longer, allowing more weight to be put on the bar, and making it easier to get your hands outside of the rack hooks (very common for the bigger lifters) and less likely for the plates to bump the rack.
Bar weight is 25 kg, 55 lbs. Tensile strength is 210,000 ps1
Lastly, the centre knurling is wider than any other bar, giving that "velcro" feel on your back.
