Well built, good value
I have had this bar for almost a year and it has performed perfectly. Keep in mind this is not the solid, one piece bars you may be used to in gyms and as such is not as heavy duty. I don’t go extremely heavy so for my use so this bar has been perfect. It comes with rubber stops on each end to prevent the weights from being too close to your hands. I have had no issues with grip space or weight hitting my hands. The handles are smooth so grip can become a problem with heavier weight. Assembly was easy and the parts to the bar are of decent quality, no rust, but do have some sloppy welds. I wouldn’t load this bar full and deadlift with uncontrolled drops but I use a barbell for that so I don’t have to worry about the welds. For my use it’s a good value.

Great Hex Bar
Solid hex bar that keeps 45lb plates just far enough off the ground to load without issue. Allows for a good range of motion. Easy to assemble. Awesome overall value.

Fantastic Hex Bar at a great price
This is the exact same model I use at Physical Therapy, which is why I chose it. The built-in stand means it is easy to load plates. They never touch the floor.I included the photo so you can see how big it is. I am 6′ 1″ with long legs and have no issues using this.Please note this ONLY accepts Olympic Plates, the ones with a 2″ diameter hole, so you can’t use your 1″ plates and clips.The build quality is superb, and with a good wrench and socket it assembled in a few minutes. This is an essential tool for leg muscle building and squats.Be sure to use good form – butt out, back straight and head up – and this Hex Bar (or Trap Bar) will get the job done.

Good for deadlifts and shrugs
I have a limited space home gym in my garage with a power cage and it’s a bit of a PITA to remove the olympic barbell from within the cage to use for deadlifts, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend a lot for another barbell just for deadlifts so I tried out a trap bar during a Black Friday sale. This works great and is easy to load, albeit with a different range of motion needed since your hands are in different locations so you have to rely on a proper hinge technique for your lifts. Also the trap bar is lighter than a 7 foot barbell so you have to adjust your weight additions to compensate. There is limited hand space between the plates and the grips but I have medium sized hands and the include spacer works well for me. I also don’t lift crazy heavy so this trap bar should last me a lifetime and be okay for my kids too since I will never need to put 5 plates of anything on it. This is a good VALUE buy for my home gym and I’m not a pro lifter, but this does fulfill a specific strength need for me and my family and I’m glad I bought it. Well made, easy assembly, and fast delivery made this a worthwhile buy, even at regular prices. Highly recommend this!

Functional, Durable and a Great Value
General:Very pleased with this bar so far. I bought it becuase I like that the stand allows for ease of loading/unloading plates – I have a home gym but don’t have a bar jack and loading/unloading a bunch of plates onto a normal bar gets old. The stand creates a higher grip height (neccessarily because the collars need to be high enough to allow a 45lbs plate to clear the ground while loading). Further, the grips themselves are elevated as well. Net-net, your starting grip position is 3″ higher than it would be with an olympic bar with plates resting on the ground. I want to get full depth so I’ve solved for this by building a small platform that will fit between the plates and it’s worked very well – I get ease of loading and unloading, and go to full depth on my lifts.Durability:I’ll need to update this as time goes by as I’ve only been using it for 2 months, but so far, it’s holding up very well. I’ll go as high as three 45lbs plates on each side and I’ve not had a single issue – everything is tight and the stand doesn’t deform when I’m a little too aggressive in making contact with the ground at the bottom of the lift.Functionality:Obviously works well for deadlift type movements but I also found it great for shrugs, though I would guess that if you’re smaller, the hand width you’re locked into might make that movement uncormfortable and less efficient. I’ve also used it for shoulder work as an overhead press by flipping it over.Bottom Line: I have no illusions that this bar will hold up for 10 years given the number of pieces and tube construction. That said, It’s made well for what it is and has been so functional for me, that if it only lasted 3-4 years (given the amount of weight I put on it), I would absolutley buy another, given the value.

Easy to put together
I’ve used this plenty of times now and I am not disappointed with this purchase. Good quality and it was a good price when I purchased it.

It’s perfect for home gyms. Well worth the money.
My original Trap Bar is an old original Al Gerard Trap Bar (he’s a powerlifter from the 1980’s and the original inventor of the Trap Bar. Google “Al Gerard Trap Bar” to see a picture of it). It’s wide, clunky, and not free-standing, so I bought this Bar). I have had this hex Trap Bar for a few weeks now, and I am very pleased with it. I read that some people had problems assembling the bar. You will need to assemble the Bar loosely before tightening everything down. With items like this, always expects that not all holes will line up exactly perfect. I installed all of the bolts, washers, and nuts, and then tightened everything down. It’s solid as a rock. The bar comes with two, thick rubber spacers (one on each side) to space the weight plate away from the handle. The spacers are about the same size and thickness as a typical chrome-plated lock collar. This still doesn’t allow for enough space to easily wrap lifting straps around the handles, so I added two old lock collars I had lying around. They work perfect. I recommend this bar.

The CAP Olympic Trap Bar is an absolute game-changer for anyone serious about their strength training regimen.The build quality of this trap bar is great. One of the standout features of an olympic trap bar is its versatility. Unlike traditional barbells, which primarily target the upper body, this trap bar allows for a more balanced distribution of weight, engaging not only the arms and shoulders but also the legs and back. Whether I’m performing deadlifts, shrugs, or farmer’s walks, I can feel my entire body working together to lift the weight, resulting in a more comprehensive and effective workout.Another aspect that sets this trap bar apart is its ergonomic design. The raised handles and hexagonal shape make it easier to get into position and maintain proper alignment throughout each movement. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also allows for a greater range of motion, enabling me to fully engage the targeted muscle groups and maximize my gains.In terms of value for money, the CAP trap bar is unbeatable. Compared to other trap bars on the market, it offers the same level of quality and performance at a fraction of the cost. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or just starting out, investing in this trap bar is sure to take your strength training to the next level.In conclusion, I can’t recommend this trap bar enough. It’s durable, versatile, and ergonomically designed to enhance your workouts and help you achieve your fitness goals.

Acquistata per la mia homegym perché i manubri non mi erano più sufficienti. Facile da montare e molto robusta. I piedini sono pratici perché permettono di fare velocemente i cambi pesi ⦠La consiglio
