Will this help me squat without aggrivating the bump?** A: I've seen this several times. Arnold Schwarzenegger had what I call a "squat knot" that was about half the size of a tennis ball. In fact, the first time I saw this was in our booth at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Expo, in Columbus, OH around 1993 or 94. This guys girlfriend asked me if the Manta Ray would get rid of it. I felt it and it was hard like a calcium deposit and I had no idea if it would/could go away. They came back a couple of years later (now married with a baby in tow) to thank me because it was completely gone. She said it did take a while. Google "pumping iron vhs images" and the one on the right with the title in red down by Arnold's knees shows the bump we're talking about. Good luck. Mark (inventor and manufacturer of the Manta Ray) **Q: Will this work with an EZ bar?** A: Negative. It works with a one inch diameter barbell bar. An olympic barbell is correct for the Manta Ray. A smaller diameter bar will not be held correctly and the bar will slide. **Q: Is it legal in powerlifting?** A: Not for competitions. This is primarily a training devise. Thank you. **Q: I have used a manta ray for years but my question is for those who have used both the manta ray and a safety squat bar and your comparisons** A: My gym has a safety squat bar that has no pads so I use my manta ray on it, works great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Original Manta Ray by Advanced Fitness, Squat Load Distribution Device - Advanced Squat Pad - Barbell Pad for Hip Thrusts, Squats & Lunges - Neck & Shoulder Squat Bar Pad Cushion Support Foam for Extra Comfort - Clout Fitness Olympic Barbell Clamps Collars Quick Release Pair of Locking Weight Clips Fit 2 Inch Barbell for Weightlifting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1253082-original-manta-ray-by-advanced-fitness-squat-load-distribution-device](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1253082-original-manta-ray-by-advanced-fitness-squat-load-distribution-device) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
