Description

Safety Arms – solo training without the risk

No training partner around, but heavy squats or bench press on the plan? The Safety Arms reliably catch the bar when you can't get it back up. Set them at the right height in your rack – just below your deepest squat point, at chest height on the bench – and push to your limit without needing someone next to you. The 70 cm length gives you room for different stance widths and grip variations. In a Box or studio setting, they catch the bar in failed lifts before anyone ends up under the load.

Spotter arms for the full cross equip rack family

The Safety Arms are built for cross equip A-Line squat stands, power racks and rigs – they fit cleanly into the 17 mm hole pattern and reset to any height in seconds. No tools, no fiddling. You get two arms per set (1 pair), matte black, powder-coated. The steel handles daily use – Box with multiple athletes per hour or home gym with the typical squat-bench rotation. With the arms at correct height, even a full missed lift just means resting the bar on the arms, slipping out from under, and resetting for the next attempt.

Safety Arms are the direct, reliable catch system for squats, bench press and rack pulls without a spotter. They're the right pick for most Box and home-gym setups. For maximum bar protection and quieter operation – studios that need low noise or training with competition bars – strap safeties are the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Safety Arms fit my rack?
The Safety Arms are built for cross equip A-Line squat stands, power racks and rigs with 17 mm hole pattern. They are not compatible with the Swiss Line. If your rack is from another brand (e.g. 25 mm holes), send us the dimensions and we'll check compatibility.
Which exercises need Safety Arms?
Primarily squats and bench press in solo training. Also rack pulls, floor press in the rack, pin squats, pause bench, plus general beginner safety while learning heavy lifts. The general rule: any exercise where you need a reliable catch if you can't complete the lift.
How do I set the right Safety Arm height?
For squats: just below your deepest position – under ATG depth, but not so deep that the bar rests on the arms at the bottom of the lift. For bench: at chest height when you're flat on the bench and could just rest the bar down. When in doubt, one hole lower – the arms shouldn't crowd your lift, just catch it in failure.
Will the Safety Arms scratch my bar?
Hard drops on the arms can leave marks – metal on metal, physically unavoidable. With normal controlled training, marks stay minimal. For competition bars or maximum protection, we recommend strap safeties.
Do I need tools to install them?
No. Drop the arms into the desired holes on your rack – done. Height changes between squat and bench setups take seconds, on both sides.
Can I buy the Safety Arms individually?
No, they're sold only as a pair (2 pieces) – you need one on each side of the rack for safe use. Single-arm sales wouldn't make sense.
What load can the Safety Arms take?
More than any athlete will reasonably move in a rack. Powder-coated steel with a heavy build is rated for full squat- and bench-setup loads. In practice, the arms are never the limiting factor.

Customer reviews

Safety Arms belong on every power rack as basic equipment. If you train solo and do squats or bench, you need a reliable catch – no compromise, no excuses. We use them daily in our Box, for beginner coaching and on max attempts. They do exactly what they're meant to: catch the bar when it counts.
