Haven't been able to "rep" many of you for a year or more...not for lack of trying.

Just received my Crep Bar. It was packaged up very well but once i was able to open it up it had some spots where the paint is already coming off. Thats a minor issue and it doesnt bother me at all. The padding though have a small rip and im trying to get in contact with west side barbell to see if they can send me a replacement pad cover. We'll see maybe i'll just live with it. This is my first SSB so i really dont have anything to compare it with. The bar seems very solid and will probably withstand heavy abuse.

I was thinking it would be nice to use a shorter/no handle when I'm doing front squats. I spoke to Rich @ Edge Fitness Systems last night and he said the price of steel is increasing quite a bit, so this current batch of SSBs is likely to be their cheapest. Sales aren't likely - although I would expect shipping deals to show at some point soon.

I have a Watson SsB, I've been using it regularly for about four years, living in the UK, I don't have access to any of the SSB's recommended here, so it's not possible to make any comparisons., Personally I love the Watson SSB, I've have used other cheaper SSB's, but they never came close to the Watson.
On my SSB, in common with similar bars, the load is pushing you in a forward direction, but unlike some SSB's I've used the Watson bar isn't trying to bury your face in the floor, so the squat movement feels more natural than some SSB's. It's not the prettiest bar, but it's built like a proverbial tank, the padding is comfortable , the handles are straight and about 6 inches long and the overall finish of the bar is excellent. Watson claim that the design is pretty close to the original Hatfield bar, I don't know whether this is correct, but functionally it's an excellent bar and my favourite specialist bar.
