Manta Ray

Manta Ray Manta Ray

The Manta Ray has delivered squatting from the dark ages of strength training. This device snaps to any bar, distributing the bar's pressure along the entire shoulder structure. This makes free weight and smith machine squats, and lunges more comfortable so you can concentrate on your intensity and form. Typical squatting places undue strain on the cervical spine. This results in soft tissue and red blood cell damage, thereby making inroads into your valuable recovery time. Moreover, since the Manta Ray distributes and balances the weight along the shoulders, less upper body effort is required to hold the weight in place, which means more focused and productive lower body training. Used by Anthony Clark, Utah Jazz, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Jose Sharks, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Bulls and Dallas Cowboys, to name just a few. The Manta Ray is also ideal for use with the Heavy Duty Pendulum squatting station, and is available for $39.95. Please add shipping of $5.95 USA, $6.20 Canada, $15 elsewhere.

Sting Ray

Have you been looking for a viable alternative to squatting, either for a change of pace or because regular squatting results in low back pain? Have you tried front squatting, but found the exercise too stressful to the shoulders, or difficult to hold the bar in place? The Sting Ray was designed to address those problems. Like the Manta Ray, the Sting Ray evenly distributes the bar's pressure over a greater surface area, making the exercise comfortable for high intensity training. Plus, you will no longer have difficulty balancing or maintaining proper positioning. Available for $49.95. Please add shipping of $5.95 USA, $6.20 Canada, $15 elsewhere.
