I don’t usually review items but I must for this SSB. This is what I have been wanting. I made the mistake purchasing the E FTS (which is a great bar btw) but the pad is HUGE! This pad is perfect. It doesn’t sit up way to high And the camber is not so far in front of you. Which makes it feel like a regular squat. At least that’s what I was looking for in it.

I love this bar. The distance between the handles is just perfect. The camber angle and weight distribution perfect. The finish is superb. Really nothing to complain about. Was a bit hesitant at first after reading reviews stating that it is not as comfortable as other SSBs, but after trying bars with more snug fit and rouge’s SSB I much prefer rogue’s implementation.

My GF got me the SSB for Christmas. I really enjoy it. Excellent powder coat finish. It makes squat day much more enjoyable. Relieves shoulder pain that a straight bar would normally produce for me. The pads seem to be working good for me, although some people complained about them. I can feel that it works my upper quads much more than a normal squat. Overall, if you are dreading squat days and are tired of being sore in all the wrong places, I would recommend trying this bar out. I haven't reduced any weight on the bar since going to the SSB, and if anything, I noticed I can go deeper with better form with more weigh on the bar. One final thought on the handles, it would be really cool if Rogue could put some kind knurling on them instead of the straight smooth handles.

Total game changer. Shoulder problems left me with only front squats and I hated them. The Rogue SSB has been a total game changer. I love squatting again. Best addition to my gym.

Bar is easier on shoulders feels more ergonomically correct

Use this bar just about every day love it great for my gym it a perfect addition

Perfect edition to our home gym. Love it! Had a scare with my son squating. Feel much more comfortable with his squating now!

I debated myself for a couple months about buying this SB-1. I am so glad I bought it. I feel the SB-1 provides so much more security when doing squats. I am enjoying doing squats with this bar. I have injured shoulders from my days serving in the military. The SB-1 is comfortable on my neck and shoulders. When I do the squats, I feel the SB-1 gives me so much control. With the extra control, I am doing better squats. I highly recommend adding the SB-1 to your gym.
