The Safety Squat Bar Strap is the perfect strap to keep in your gym bag if you don't want to fork out the cash for a safety squat bar or your gym doesn't have one. The Safety Squat Bar Strap is simple to use and just attaches to any straight bar. Don't worry, the Safety Squat Bar Strap does not make squatting any easier than using a normal safety squat bar. It will still fry your mid and upper back, but is much easier on the shoulders than that nasty 'Ol straight bar. You can even put your forearms / elbows in the straps and squat with no hands if you want.
