Key Features & Specs:
Does the harness come off?
No, the bar and harness are welded together - there are no removable parts. This is why the bar is 24” wide
super comfortable, allows to go closer to failure on squats more safely, super comfortable, movements like lunges and good mornings easier with this bar, did I mention it's super comfortable? the width of the bar handles are perfect for me. the sleeves feel slightly cheap to me, black coating gets rubbed off pretty easily on my all steel rack and j cups, I would have rather it been bare. No cover on the foam so it's more susceptible to tearing. Fitness Factory did not charge freight shipping!!!
I have several other top rated safety squat bars from various fitness companies and honestly this one is in the top 2 in how it feels when lifting and performance. I was a bit skeptical at first to get the Marrs Squat Bar due to having several other safety squat bars and squat bars but has been an excellent addition to the toolkit. I only use the Marrs Squat Bar for back squats (no front squats) and have been extremely pleased in how comfortable it is when squatting. As noted in other reviews of the Marrs Squat Bar, it is mainly a lower back squat based on bar placement (weight displacement is lower than other squat bars). I occasionally have knee pain when squatting and have not had any knee pain when squatting with the bar. The handles are curved down which is a little different than the curved handles on other bars. This has not been an issue and actually makes the bar more secure when squatting. Some assembly is required (plate sleeves need to be added to the bar but it is very quick and easy. I would recommend the Marrs Squat Bar even if you have other squat bars since it does hit the leg muscles a little differently. I am even considering getting a 2nd Marrs Squat Bar for travel when hitting the road.
