The Delrade Bar is excellent for two reasons: Not only has it been ergonomically designed for effective and safe overhead squatting (1) but it is also very universal and multifunctional for pretty much any other lifts, movements or exercises one can think of (2):

• Bent-Over Row
• Shoulder / Military Press
• Bench Press
• Bench Triceps Press
• Lying Pull-over
• Back / Front Squat
• Any Deadlift
• Back / Front Lunge
• Clean and Jerk
• and many other lifts and movements.

A trainee doesn’t need any other bar to effectively strength train the whole body.

Overhead squatting specifically, is an essential training tool for everything from initial movement screening, improving biomechanics and flexibility up to mastering olympic lifting technique and performance.

The bar was created to overcome the main problem incurring when overhead squatting. When done with a traditional straight bar wrists are put in a highly stressful position, causing strain and pain. This is a result of holding the bar above the head with a wide grip. However, using a wide grip is the correct way to execute this exercise.

Therefore, to overcome this issue, Delrade have developed a new and innovative ergonomic bar which allows your wrists to sit in a comfortable and stress free position, eliminating wrist injury by spreading the weight and pressure evenly across the wrist, leaving you to focus on your training goals. Please see video for demonstration.
