[...] Grab them an Manta Ray. Basically it’s a squatting device that snaps on to the bar and evenly spreads out the load over the persons traps/shoulders. Not only does it make squatting a more comfortable and pleasant experience, it also forces you to correct your posture while safely letting you throw on a heavier load. To read about the exact benefits and to see how much it helped me improve my squat, see my full review HERE. [...]

Looks pretty dang interesting! Since I carry a bog with me in my wee morn hour workouts, I have no worries about carrying stuff. I carry stuff in my bag that the gym does not have! I don’t squat heavy anymore but I like the sound of how it gets you right into the proper position! FJ, I know what you are thinking & don’t go there!

Thx for the info.. now do a giveaway!

@ Rick

Aye.. I hear ya. Bunch of my friends are like wtf is that… we don’t need it. Then they realized how much more weight they could stack on the bar and realized.

Extra plates on bar = more manly looking than straight bar with less weight

As for swapping this out for the thigh master. Haha c’mon now, that’s an EASY trade off.

@ Tra

yeah the hell with the squat pads, they aren’t even half as good as this. If your current squat weight is comfortable then you don’t need it, but if you feel like being a beastly woman (and I know you do)… then give it a shot.

Very interesting…as a former powerlifter, I concur that the part of the challenge of the world’s greatest single exercise, is balancing and handling the weight. Part of me says, don’t be a pussy and using training aids like this one. Yet the scientist in me, says, hmmm, increase surface area so you can concentrate on the exercise/form…I like it.

Might have to try this one out, but I would have to take the thigh master out of my bag to make room.
