01 / THE BUFFALO PROFILE
Find your place
under the curve.
The curved shaft changes where your hands sit during a back squat. It offers another setup to explore when a straight bar’s position doesn’t suit your shoulders and wrists.

| Detail | Straight bar | Beppu |
|---|---|---|
| Shaft profile | Straight | Curved Buffalo profile |
| Squat setup | Hands follow the straight shaft | The curve lets the hands sit lower and farther forward |
| Wrist & shoulder position | Depends on grip width and mobility | An alternative position to explore |
| Center knurl | Varies by model | Textured contact across the back |
| Loadable sleeves | Varies by model | 14-inch Olympic sleeves |
| Bar weight | Varies by model | 40 lb |
Comfort is individual. The curve offers another setup; it does not guarantee pain-free lifting.

What is a Buffalo bar?
A Buffalo bar has a curved shaft instead of a straight one. That curve changes the hand position and feel of a back-squat setup.

Beppu can also be used for good mornings, bench presses, overhead presses and other movements suited to its curved profile.
Will it fit my existing equipment?
It is designed for standard racks and 2-inch Olympic plates. Check compatibility with your rack and collars before use.
