Not only that but squats help with injury prevention by targeting essential stabilizing muscles, while also boosting sport and athletic ability. When you add weights, you further increase the benefits of this phenomenal move.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAFETY COMES FIRST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the risks of using free weights when squatting is exacerbating any weakness or injury to the wrists and shoulder joints. Fortunately the Olympic Safety Squat Bar has been specially designed to alleviate pressure on these joints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts unique shape and weight placement (lower and further forward) also encourages the proper engagement of core musculature so that correct torso alignment is achieved and maintained throughout the exercise. This furthers challenges the posterior chain muscles giving them an even more intense workout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDURABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasuring 2.2m the Olympic Safety Squat Bar is covered in heavy-duty chrome for added durability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUPREME COMFORT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA knurled grip and padded shoulder rest means you can take your fitness training to the max comfortably and confidently every time!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREDUCING INJURY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe presence of handgrips ensures that the barbell can be positioned and stabilized, preventing the limited joint mobility of shoulders and backbones. High tension in the spine, along with pain and poor posture, would have a very negative effect on the exercise, reducing its effectiveness and increasing the risk of injury. knurled grip and padded shoulder rest means you can take your fitness training to the max comfortably and confidently every time!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePADDING THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe presence of generous padding acting as shoulder straps, combined with the grips, determines a greater area of body-to-barbell contact.
