I've been thinking of making a pair of squat handles to relieve my shoulders. In the "bending barbell" thread you said this:
And also found this:
I've searched the site but couldn't find Davids stuff you were refering to. Also it doesn't seem that you have developped the ones you talked about so, here goes.Quote:
But we're in the process of developing a set of handles that have the potential of enabling a low-bar position with hands in front. Stay tuned...
I designed these and was wondering if you would be so kind to comment on them. Is this what you had in mind as well? Also what ofset from the bar do you feel would be a good start? Right now its 150mm center-center.

The top of the hole in the handle is slightly smaller than the bar and the slot is conical. The handle is positioned on the bar and secured with a pull/blow so that the knurl bites in the handle locking it in place.
