Barbell Savers

Our sandwich-type competition J-Cups protect your rack and barbell from getting damaged when racking your bar after a heavy set, thanks to the oversized UHMW plastic core.

Additionally, UHMW plates on the interior ensure there's no metal-to-metal contact between the rack and the J-Cup.

These J-shaped cups are designed to support regular 1-inch Olympic barbells to the thicker 2-inch specialty barbells, and fit on any 3x3in rack with 5/8-inch holes.

Simply slide them onto your rack and turn to lock them in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "sandwich" style J-cup, and why is it better?
The Competition J-Cups use a sandwich design, where a thick UHMW plastic core is bolted between two 1/4" laser-cut steel plates. Unlike standard J-cups that only have plastic on the surface, this design ensures that even if you miss a rack and hit the side or bottom, your barbell only ever touches protective plastic.

Will these fit my current squat rack?
These J-cups are designed specifically for 3x3" uprights with 5/8" holes. They are compatible with the entire Iron Bull rack line and most other industry-standard 3x3 racks that use 5/8" hardware.

How much weight can these J-cups hold?
Thanks to the 1/4" heavy-duty steel construction and reinforced pins, these J-cups are rated for a massive 1,000+ lb capacity per pair, making them suitable for elite-level powerlifting.

Will they damage the powder coat on my rack?
No. These units feature UHMW plastic lining on the interior of the bracket. This creates a buffer that prevents metal-to-metal contact, protecting your rack’s finish from scratches when you slide or adjust them.

Can I use these with specialty barbells like a Safety Squat Bar?
Yes. The deep, reinforced "J" shape is designed to safely hold everything from standard 1-inch Olympic bars to thicker 2-inch specialty bars, including fat bars and cambered bars.
