What others have to say about the Draper Top Squat...

Dr. Ken Leistner under Dave's Top Squat, 2003

"All of my trainees found the Top Squat very easy to use, convenient and comfortable, even while using weights in excess of four hundred pounds. The handles made control of the bar a non-issue. For those with shoulder problems and an inability to externally rotate the arm, the Top Squat is an extremely useful piece of equipment." .....Dr. Ken Leistner

"...no tightness in my back -- a lot more quad involvement; I go futher down and I feel like I have better control." Lon Baldridge, Physical Therapist "I can keep my balance very well as I just raise the handles as I go down. I have not been able to squat for years and I love the Top Squat.... Wow." George Boedecker

"Wow! It's everything I'd hope it would be. Aside from providing relief to aging shoulders and cuff irritations, it acts as a lever to control movement -- with attention and mindfulness." Ken O'Neill

"My gym members and I are very impressed with the Top Squat; it's an incredible device! It's helped me to teach the squat to numerous people who ordinarily would have difficulty due to shoulder problems." Jim Caruso, Canyon Gym

"Everyone training should have one. It doesn't matter whether you are nursing a shoulder injury or not-it's the only way to squat. Once it's set up the bar is centered permanently and there's no messing about with hand spacing, etc., so it's a much safer way to squat, too. I wish that Dave had dreamt it up years ago." Mike Payne

"Totally comfortable. It did not even feel like there was a bar on my back. Squatting was as easy as pie. Nothing to it. No balance problems at all. No pain in my shoulders, back, neck or anywhere. Unbelievable." Karen Orsi

"Did real squats yesterday for the first time in a long spell, and no shoulder interaction at all." Will Taylor

"Talk about a different feeling. It feels very much like a front squat without all the pain. Since it's a high bar position, the quads sure get a lot of work too." Sam Tsang

"Wow! This thing is great! The Top Squat lets me get deeper in the hole than I've been able to in a long time. I'm very happy with the product. I think it will be a real winner." Casey Seebon
