Rogue SB-1
The Rogue SB-1 is a heavy, traditional safety squat bar built around a cambered design that helps keep you more upright while reducing the wrist and shoulder demands of a straight bar. The angled handles, thick pad, Cerakote finish, and Olympic sleeves give it the premium Rogue feel.
Pros:
- Camber helps promote a more upright squat position
- Angled handles reduce wrist strain
- Thick foam improves shoulder comfort
- Cerakote finish adds durability
- Olympic sleeves work with standard Olympic collars
- Useful for several squat and posterior-chain variations
Cons:
- Premium price
- Padding durability could be better
- Handles could be more robust
- Heavy 70 lb bar is less convenient to move than lighter SSBs
