EliteFTS SS Yoke Bar

EliteFTS SS Yoke Bar
The EliteFTS SS Yoke Bar is my traditional safety-squat-bar pick because it uses the classic cambered design, thick comfortable padding, short removable handles, and a proven stable balance without adding complicated adjustment systems.
Pros:
  • Very comfortable high-quality padding
  • Stable and well-balanced traditional SSB design
  • Short removable handles
  • Made in the USA
  • Long track record in serious strength training
  • Heavy-duty construction
Cons:
  • Premium price
  • Clear-coat finish can chip or flake
  • Often goes out of stock
  • Non-standard sleeve fit may require separate collars
