I just got mine.Really like it so far.The only problem mine doesn't fit tight on the bar.I have an olympic set I bought from Academy sports.Are some some of the bars a little thicker? Would it help to wrap tape around the bar before installing the Top Squat?




Yes, most of bars are a little thicker than yours. I'm not sure which top squat you got, the metal one or the padded, but you could line it with a layer of rubber tubing to help fill in the space. Once you find the thickness you like you could glue that inside.

Others who have the opposite problem -- bar's too thick (thicker bars are becoming more common) -- can either trim away the inside tab if using the padded top squat, or bend the metal opening a bit if using the plain metal one. (Alternatively, if we know in advance the bar is a larger one, Odis will bend the metal opening to exact specs prior to shipping.)
