Overview
A 48.6 inch olympic hex bar with 2 inch, 10 inch loadable sleeves, built for deadlifts, shrugs and squats without a straight bar pressing into the shins. The steel frame carries a black electrophoretic coating and a 400 lb capacity rating.
Standing inside the hexagonal frame rather than behind a straight bar changes the lift path, centering the load under the body's midline instead of in front of it, which is why hex bars often get recommended for lifters managing lower back sensitivity. The raised handles measure 7 inches wide and 3.4 inches tall, and the bar itself weighs 14.5 lb before plates go on. Two snap-spring collars ship with it.
- 48.6 inch hex frame with 10 inch loadable sleeves
- Fits standard 2 inch olympic plates
- 400 lb weight capacity, 14.5 lb bar weight
- Raised handles: 7 in wide, 3.4 in tall
Who it's for
Fits home gym owners doing deadlift variations, shrugs or farmer's carries who want a bar that won't scrape their shins, and lifters easing off a straight bar due to back strain. Not a fit for anyone loading past what a 400 lb-rated bar and 10 inch sleeve can hold.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sleeve clearance keeps shins away from the bar
- Fixed handle height standardizes grip
- 400 lb capacity with steel construction
- 10 inch sleeves cap total plate loading
- At 14.5 lb, lighter than a standard 45 lb bar, which affects load math
Performance notes
The hexagonal frame lets a lifter step inside and lift with the bar aligned to the body's centerline, reducing the forward lean a straight bar forces at the bottom of a deadlift. Raised handles fix hand position rather than leaving it free along the bar, keeping grip width and hand height consistent set to set.
