Product Details
With the SS4 Safety Squat Bar, you'll turn your leg days from lacking to legendary. Barbell back squats are great, but upper-body injuries and immobility can leave you doing diddly-squat for months (or years) until now!
The knurled handles on this safety squat bar are easy to grab and hold, so you can squat with minimal upper-body involvement. Meanwhile, the ergonomically designed pad is comfortable on your shoulders and can be used hands-free - making your squat impediments a thing of the past.
You can obviously use it for safety bar squats, but that's just the start: use it for front squats, Hatfield squats, good mornings, lunges, split squats, JM presses, and more! Combine it with resistance bands, chains, or a plyo-box to create different resistance curves and stimuli.
So, grab your squat shoes and belt up. It's time to squat heavy again! Awarded the Best Versatile Safety Squat Bar by King of the Gym!
IMPORTANT: The SS4 is designed to fit perfectly in any Bells of Steel rack. However, it will NOT sit correctly if used in a non-Bells of Steel rack wider than 49" between the outer edge of the j-cups.

- CVCeleste V D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoA great tool
I’m a 55 year old woman with scoliosis and a fairly recent interest in powerlifting. With my long femurs and curvy spine, the back squat has been my greatest challenge. I recently added the SS4 SSB to my home gym setup, and I’m really enjoying it; I’m able to stay more upright during the squat and also minimize shoulder strain. SSB box squats have helped me work on balance and hitting consistent depth. Thanks for a great product!
Bells of Steel USA3 weeks agoThank you for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the SS4 Safety Squat Bar has been a great addition to your home gym and has made a positive impact on your training. It’s fantastic to know that it’s helping you maintain an upright position, reduce shoulder strain, and improve your squat technique. Keep up the amazing work in your powerlifting journey—your progress is inspiring! 💪 - JPJay P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoSS4 Bar is Fantastic!
The bar is high quality and feels great on the shoulders. I have both the short handles and the longer ones. I prefer the shorter handles myself.
I am someone with a history of herniated discs and am not the most flexible in the angles either due to sports injuries. With normal squat bars it's difficult for me to reach full range but with the SS4 that is no more. I can easily feel the quads engaging each rep especially when my heels are slightly elevated.
Padding is very comfortable even with 315+ lbs on the bar. Wish I would have bought this bar years ago.
I have a regular barbell, a buffalo bar and now the SS4 and I prefer the SS4 over the other two for squats easily.
Bells of Steel USAHI Jay, Thank you so much for taking the time to review our ss4 today. We are so glad you have loved this bar and it feels great on the shoulders. We are so glad this has allowed full range of motion on the squat and has alleviated any pain when performing the exercise. We hope it continues to be so beneficial. Sincerely, The BoS team - JCJonathan C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoGreat Bar
Gets the job done for an affordable price. I have no issues with the bar. The SS3 was not wide enough for my rack (they call that out but I didn’t pay attention) so I returned it and got the SS4. The return process was easy and fast- customer service was great. Def don’t love made in China, but I love my wallet. Lolol and U.S. brands are literally 3 x as much. Great value. Great pad. Good looking and all that. Great purchase.
Bells of Steel USAHi Jonathan, We would like to thank you for your review of our ss4. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and are so glad you had a positive experience. We hope you continue to love using this piece. Yours in strength, Marcus & the BoS team - JOJamie O.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoSS4 Safety Squat Bar
Great bar! Padding is comfortable and consistent throughout the pad, and the vinyl feels great and looks great with the branding. The knurled handles are for sure a highlight, they look great and feel great in your hands during use, way better and more premium feel than plastic handles. The rotating sleeves make squats feel a bit better vs fixed sleeves. The sleeves themselves look great, I have not had any significant marking during normal use so far. And the end caps look great! Nice touch adding the bar and handle weights on there. Overall hard to beat, especially for the price. Glad I went with the SS4. Would buy again.
Bells of Steel USAHI Jamie , Thank you so much for the in depth review of our SS4 bar. We appreciate your feedback regarding this item, and are so glad you have been happy with it and even recommend it too ! Thank you again for your review, Marcus & the BoS team - MMMatthew M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoGreat SSB!
This SSB is comfortable to use and the knurling on the handles is a great addition. Love how it’s 45 lbs for the simple bro math too.
Bells of Steel USA1 week agoHey Matthew, Thanks for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear you are enjoying your new safety squat bar. Also we know that 45+45=135 (gotta account for that bar ;) . Let the gainzz begin! BOS Crew
