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

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 will definitely help with older folks like me or people with shoulder mobility. Easily put together and works well. I only go light as I am 55 years old but feels sturdy. Note, make sure you use clamps or a collar as the bar is really slick( no tooth) and plates will easily slide off.

Didn’t know it was a 3 piece bar. Pit it together and works great very sturdy and feels heavy duty. I’ve used 325 on it for squats and seemed to not even bend or flex.

Definitely not heavy duty, but worth the cost. I would like to have paid maybe $10 or $15 extra and had diagonal bracing go from the frame to each leg because when you lift a decent amount of weight, the legs tuck inward and therefore the weight pegs begin slanting downward. This happened first workout, using only about 350 lbs. Not a deal breaker though and still a decent value.

I am starting out light so this is more than enough for me - it looks like it could easily live up to it's claim though- however if you are doing those numbers I would spend some more.

Easy to assemble. It makes squatting easier so great for a home gym. Very lightweight and quality it great. I haven't up the max weight on it yet so can't attest it it will function at 700lbs bit works great at up the 300lbs I've put on it

This hex bar is well made and sturdy. It was easily enough to put together. The only caveat I'd caution about is to check the width against your armspan - I am 5'8 and I cannot quite load as heavily as I can a standard barbell because my arms have to be so far apart - however it's still so much more comfortable on my middle aged back squatting and deadlifting with it!

Super poor quality!!!!! The bearings are nice but it doesn't matter if the bar isn't even straight! The bolt holes aren't in line at all I don't think I can even try to use this safely. I so disappointed I always wanted to use one of these squat bars.
