Olympic Trap Bar
Description
An Olympic Trap Bar (also called a hex bar) is a specialized barbell designed to optimize deadlifts, shrugs, and carry movements by positioning the lifter inside the bar’s frame rather than behind or in front of it. Its hexagonal shape and neutral-grip handles promote safer, more comfortable lifting mechanics, especially for heavy pulls.
Key Features
- Olympic Sleeves (~50 mm): Accept standard Olympic weight plates.
- Hexagonal Frame: Places the lifter inside the bar for balanced load distribution.
- Neutral / Parallel Grip Handles: Reduce stress on wrists and shoulders compared with straight bar pulls.
- Raised Handles (optional): Provide options for a more upright start position — helpful for less mobility or heavier loads.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built for high load capacities with reinforced joints.
- Finish Options: Powder-coated, black oxide, or chrome for durability and corrosion resistance.
Typical Specs
- Frame Width: ~90–105 cm (varies by design)
- Handle Heights: Standard and raised options (varies)
- Load Capacity: Often 500 kg+ (model dependent)
