Interesting Member 6186, 245 posts | I would say for UK squat bar Watson Gym. They have examples of people using it like Eddie Hall. Pullum Sports make one, not sure on the cost. The Strength Shop has one at a lower cost, it will be made in the Fast East but I am sure members here will say it performs fine. SB1 by Rogue never used it or seen it but should be good. Most will be from the Fast East maybe something like the Wolverson GT Squat Bar again made in Taiwan or China. Depends on your budget. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 16.03.2017 @ 18:01 PM by Benvie John said:I use a strength shop one does anyone know how much it ways ?? I don't know if it's normal but it's incredibly bouncy I'm not a big fan but need to use it for deadlift stance box squats. We have a strengthshop one at our gym and it is also pretty whippy. They have attached the handles at the wrong angle too meaning it sits poorly on your back. In general I find it pretty cheap and shoddily put together. EDIT To answer your question I believe it is marketed as "approximately" 25kg. Not sure how much faith I'd have in that though. | ||

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Watson one is the one you should get ver nice construction and I've squatted 240 on it and some of my players have had 260 on, no bend in the bar and still feels decent, pads are a good thickness as well. The strength shop one is one of the worst manufactured pieces of s**t I have ever had the misfortune of squatting with. | ||

Interesting Member 6186, 245 posts | Goes back to what I always state. Some of the Far East bars are complete crap ! Buy once and save up, that what I try to do. The Strength Shop appear to have some good items and then others that are complete pants. Very hit and miss. I use a normal barbell for squats and I am glad that my bar selection is just two bars which is enough for me. Other people like a selection of different bars which I fully understand. | ||

This x 2. It sits so poorly i actually spent 10 mins trying to figure out if i was holding it wrong. If you cant afford Watson then go elsewhere. But if all you can afford is strength shop then keep your money. | ||

Ive seen the one in my gym go well over 300kg (not on my shoulders) Watsons are the one for most gym equipment. | ||
