My advice now is to man the fuck up and get used to squatting with a bar for upto 80-90% 1RM.

THEN introduce the MantaRay, and watch your lifts sky rocket.

Heads up that i was introduced to the product back in 2005 by a buddy who was finishing his Bach of Phys Ed. Did not think much of it till giving it a go.

All I can say is that now squat 265 lbs no prob (4 sets of 10 twice a week) without harming my back … and still having great results. It helps balance and strain on shoulders.

To the nay sayers – jut try it – don’t like – don’t use it … for me and other I have introduced – it works.

Cheers

I cant wait to try it out! I fractured my 6th cervical spine (from playing rugby) two years ago. After extensive rehab and 4 months in a immobilizing traction collar, I only have residual numbness left (the paralysis is all gone!). I did notice that I cannot tolerate squats any longer. No matter what I try (wrapping/padding the bar), it hurts on my back and neck. The only way it doesnt hurt is when I considerably lower the weight. I’m hoping it arrives by tomorrow! I’ll keep you posted.

Definitely one of the more interestingly written fitness product reviews I’ve read, haha.

$40 sucks, but from this (and the bodybuildingdotcom, amazon, etc) reviews, I guess I’m going to have to try it. Everybody says it’s a no-brainer.

I find it a little disconcerting that it’s apparently been around over ten years and I’ve never heard about it until I basically stumbled on it accidentally on amazon, though.

[...] 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!
