The long handles for the UniStrength SSB squat bar are designed to maximise your comfort and improve your stability during squats. By offering a grip further from the centre, they reduce the strain on the shoulders and allow a more natural arm position, particularly useful for athletes with limited mobility or a broad torso.

Why choose these long SSB handles?
-
Optimised comfort: less strain on the shoulders, arms in a more relaxed position.
-
Preserved mobility: avoids postural compensation during heavy squats.
-
Customising the SSB: interchangeable, to adapt your bar to your build or your preferences.
-
Textured finish: knurled surface for a non-slip grip, even with damp hands.
Modular SSB handles:
Our SSB bar lets you change the handles according to your needs and preferences:
- Classic: short handles (included with the “without handles” version), weight 1.9 kg
- SSB Chain Handles : our favourite for a stricter movement (it prevents making the exercise easier by pushing the handles upwards, included with the “with handles” version), weight 3.0 kg
- L Handles : hands at 90° (included with the “with handles” version), they also allow the SSB to be used for plank row exercises, weight 3.2 kg
Compatibility and installation
These long handles are 100 % compatible with the UniStrength Safety Squat Bar. Installation takes a few seconds thanks to their screw-on fixing system. They are ideal for anyone who wants to switch between short and long handles depending on the type of squat performed.
