Overview
This is a 48.6 inch hex trap bar with 10 inch sleeves sized for 2 inch Olympic plates, a 14.5 pound frame, and a 400 pound capacity, built for deadlifts, shrugs, and squats with less strain on the lower back than a straight bar.
- 48.6 inch bar length
- 400 lb rated weight capacity
- 14.5 lb bar weight
- 10 inch loadable sleeves with 2 snap springs
Who it's for
Fits home gym lifters who want a hex bar alternative to straight bar pulls for lower back comfort. Less suited to lifters who specifically need a roomier hex opening for a wide stance.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently called the bar solid for the price and easy to assemble. The main friction point raised was the hex opening measuring smaller than expected compared to other trap bars, though a 6'4", 220 lb reviewer still deadlifted in it comfortably. One buyer said the bar felt lighter than anticipated, and another noted slow delivery.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fits standard 2 inch Olympic plates
- Easy assembly per reviewers
- Reduces lower back strain during pulls
- Hex opening smaller than some competitors
- Bar felt lighter than expected to one buyer
Performance notes
Raised handles measuring 7 inches wide and 3.4 inches tall sit fixed on steel plates on each side of the frame, and the hexagonal shape keeps the load centered near the body's midline during pulls and shrugs, which is the main reason it puts less stress on the lumbar spine than a straight bar.
