The Manta Ray device is truly an innovation and remarkable piece of engineering. From everyone I have spoken to regarding Manta Ray use, I only get praise for it's comfort and ease of use. Myself (Pete) started using one after we first decided to add the Manta Ray to our product line-up (3 years ago). Needless to say, I am still using my Manta Ray every time I squat.

If like me, you have endured years of wrapping towels, belts, pipe-lagging and anything else you can find, around the bar before squats, the MantaRay will come as a breath of fresh air. On the odd occasion I have forgotten to take my MantaRay to the gym, I have suffered a bruised and painful spine for the following 2 weeks.

If you find you don't have the trap. development to keep the bar off your bony bits, do your self a huge favour. Get a Manta Ray (or get one for your partner as a present) you'll be very glad you did. I am.

Here are some details from the manufacturer..

The Manta Ray ® was developed to improve or eliminate problems we had with the squat exercise. We started by listing the things we thought were the negative aspects (bullet points below). Then worked for several years to address those issues with a small, simple device that didn't take away any of the beneficial aspects.

The Manta Ray ® just might help your squatting, because:

* Your arms no longer have to support so much of the load to keep the bar from rolling off your back!

* Finding the center of the bar on each set is no longer a problem. Once you center and snap the Manta Ray to the bar you know your right in the middle, every set!

*Repairing trauma from that shearing force crushing muscle and nerves against bone is no longer wasting ten to forty percent of your bodies ability to recuperate from a workout!

*The bar no longer rests on the deltoids (which house the injury prone Rotator Cuff Assembly)!

*The Manta Ray® takes away that shearing pain in your neck so you can focus on the movement and watch your gains skyrocket

• Indestructible design
• Increase your squat poundage instantly
• Take your leg workouts to the next level
• Pain Free
• Ideal present for anyone that weight trains
