Buying Squat bar attachments? Here are some tips not to waste your hard earned cash

*SQUAT BAR ATTACHMENT ARE FUN TO USE WITH A CLIENT THAT HATES SQUATTING BUT THERE IS A FLAW!* Here are quick and useful tips when purchasing these attachments.
1 - If you buy a foam pad, don't go on the cheap side. Buy from a commercial grade equipment company. In time the foam structure and materials will hold up!
2 - The "ORIGINAL" Manta Ray & Sting Ray are made for Olympic bars of 28-30min in diameter.
3 - A good 32mm, 1500 pound Olympic yield bar will accept a "Manta Ray " knockoff which are usually made with these bars in mind.

Final thoughts: I think these attachments are good for variety or with people with neck conditions but I still prefer teaching my clients to squat with no attachments.
