Frequently asked questions

What are the specifications of the Safety Squat Bar V2 Atlas?

220 cm long, 32 mm diameter, 20.7 kg without handles, 700 kg capacity with 190,000 PSI steel, Olympic sleeves on bearings, 20° camber, Black Titanized finish, one-piece pad in ultra-dense foam.

What is the point of an SSB?

A hybrid movement between the high bar squat and the front squat that emphasises the quadriceps and the upper back, with no stress on the shoulders, and a 20° curve that maximises stability on the back and makes the Hatfield squat easier.

Which handles are included in the complete set?

The version with handles includes the long Spider handles (5.3 kg), the chain handles (3 kg) and the L handles (3.2 kg); the classic short handles (1.9 kg) are included with the version without handles. All are in knurled black titanium, and the bar can also be used without handles for the JM Press.

Which exercises can be done with it?

Squats in both directions to emphasise the quadriceps or the posterior chain, Hatfield squat, good morning, lunges, sissy squat, JM Press and plank rows with the L handles.

Why sleeves on bearings?

With a cambered bar, the bar rotates on its axis as soon as the torso leans forward, in the good morning, the JM press or the lunge. The bearings let the plates spin freely. They stay hanging vertically instead of following the rotation of the bar, which reduces jolts and strain on the handles.

Is this the most versatile safety squat bar?

It is one of the most complete on the market. 20° camber, 4 handle systems, 700 kg capacity and sleeves on bearings. These bearings make the difference against competing SSBs with fixed sleeves on movements where the bar rotates, such as the good morning, the JM press, lunges or the Hatfield squat. The plates stay stable, the movement is smoother and the handles are not twisted.
