CAJust finished my first workout with the SS3 and texted a friend saying “why did I wait to buy this. I’m no expert just a 55yo trying to keep the grim reaper away. I hated the way a regular BB felt but did squats because I know it’s good for me. It was kinda like mowing the grass, hate doing it but glad when it’s done. This SS3 has changed leg day for me. Just order it…….you’ll thank me
Hey Alan, Thank you for the review, The SS3 bar is an amazing bar to squat! Keep on fight old grim! Enjoy the gainz! Yours in strength, William & the BOS crew
CAFits great on my shoulders and back. Eliminates cervical and shoulder pain. The curve of the bar doesn't fit my rogue rack J cups so well, but sandwich J cups will fix that once BoS releases the 3x3. The longer handles and chains are useless? I just used the short ones. It's a keeper.
Hey Jean, Thank you for the review! Keep subscribed to our newsletter to see once the 3x3 equipment gets released! PS, the longer handles work great for goodmornings and lunges Enjoy the gainz! Yours in strength, William & the BOS crew
United StatesIt is a quality SSB that is comfortable and has a nice camber to it, giving a great weight distribution and feel. My only real issue was with an oversight in quality control. Where the handle screws into the barbell is essentially just a welded-on nut. That welding process left some slag in the threads that was missed and it prevented me from screwing in the handle. I also managed to damage the threads on one of the handles trying to screw it in. Fortunately, I had the correct tap and die available to fix the issue myself so it's at least taken care of. I would recommend being careful putting your bar together for the first time to ensure your threads aren't messed up too. A lot of people don't have that large of a tap and die just laying around to use.
Hey Matt, Thank you for the review, We are glad you are getting great use of the SS3! As for the QC issues, We thank you for the feed back and will continue to improve out QC. Yours in strength, William
CAGreat quality and fast shipping as always with BOS.
Hey Lorne, Thank you for the review. Enjoy the gainz! Yours in strength, William
USI was iffy to purchased this particular bar. Mainly due to its pricing. I never purchased any bar for such a price, but reviewing for a week, I was convinced. I got to say, it was worth every penny. It's a solid bar overall. The heaviness of it gives me a piece of mind that it is a durable SSB. The puddings are thick and comfortable on the neck and shoulder. The shoulder pads are in perfect distance from each other. It has great balance when squatting. I love the fact that it forces you to properly squat by keeping your back straight and you could feel good quads working out being focused. Take it from me, I have chronic lower back pain do to multiple life threatening car accidents, including random occurrence with sciatic and a pinched nerve. With that being did, close to 10 years, I have not squat or deadlift. I only did leg press, leg extension, and barely any lounges. With Bells Of Steel SSB, I am able to squat properly and do As to the grass and Lunges with barely any discomfort. I truly recommend this bar to anyone who wants to do Squats safely and properly. As always, a very big thank you to BELLS OF STEEL [BOS] Team and their Team on Social media.
