Olympic Trap Bar | Heavy-Duty Hex Shrug & Deadlift Weight Bar

I bought this 3 years ago and it’s been a solid bar. It does not have rotating sleeves but that’s common for trap bars and is clearly mentioned in the description. 52 pounds, very solid, affordable, with two options for grips. I like the solid black. No complaints, great bar

Great quality. Super heavy . Very well made

Very good for the prices! I use it for training clients and they love it, the weights fit right on it, it’s about 50lbs by its self. There were some minor scratches on it but that’s going to happen the more I use it. I can cover them up with spay paint, no big deal. The most annoying part was all the tiny pieces of styrofoam in the box, but again no big deal.

You won't find a functional trap bar cheaper than this that isn't some rusted cobweb covered artifact from somebody's basement. Anything else brand new to compare to near this price is bolted rather than welded, which introduces numerous points of failure. Unlike many products in this price range, this bar was packaged okay. Many other cheap bars are just thrown in a box with no protection whatsoever; this at least had styrofoam and arrived unscathed. It feels solid and like it will handle any amount of weight that can fit on it- which is the big thing to consider, as it's shorter width means less weights can fit on it. It still takes up quite a bit of space in my apartment so its relatively smaller size may actually be an advantage here. You'll want to collect iron weights rather than bumpers if you're trying to fit as much on here as possible as cheaply as possible, and if you're buying cheap loose weights like Caps' own, you'll need to account for how a barbell collar will use up even more space. However, when considering how a decent larger trap bar will run you at least $300-400- this is a great option for starting out and can be loaded quite heavily before you'll need to upgrade. Resell it for $20 some day and just consider the $60 lost 4-6 months of a gym membership. The only real thing of note is that, for better or worse, the knurling is pretty aggressive. My sensitive skin is handling it fine lifting my body weight, but I'll see if it becomes a problem at heavier weights. It's nothing that some gloves, chalk or grip tape couldn't eventually fix. If you want to do deadlifts without spending thousands of dollars, start here.

This was a great buy for the price and sturdiness. I can't do regular deadlifts because of a shoulder injury, so I have to use a hex bar. It holds plenty of weight for a garage gym, the black matches all our other weights. It's solid, I'm not worried about it bending, and it fits me well at 5'10". As long as you use it correctly, it's safe and strong and you shouldn't have any issues.

Extremely good deal. Recently I hit 460# for 1 rep on low bar trap bar deadlift, the sleeves on this bar are long enough for me to fit about 580# on starting with a wide 45# bumper plate follow by some thin iron plates. If i had more iron plates i could probably fit around 650# or so, but i don’t need that much right now personally. if you’re lifting that much you’re probably in the market for $300 titan bar with longer sleeves anyway. The welds aren’t perfect but it doesn’t matter to me. Super happy with this purchase

I want to take a star for the Styrofoam but I won't. My bar showed up defect free and I did some deadlifts with it right way. The area you stand in maybe is a little smaller than some others I've used. It's ok tho. The gnarls are gnarly bro, they eat your hands up. So wear gloves or just deal with it. My office job makes my hands too soft anyways, so I like it. But it will take some adjusting to.

First and foremost, Trap bar packaging box came damaged. It looked like frigging Wolverine attacked the packaging mid shipment. The only “cushioning”, if that’s what you call it, was on the handles. There was no addition cushioning to prevent scratches and possible dents. Seriously, Hellen Keller could do a much better job at packaging this. Besides the amateur packaging, the trap bar worked fine I guess. My only complaint is that I wished the kneeling was a bit more “aggressive” as my hand kept slipping even with both dry and liquid chalk. I’m no Ronnie Coleman but I don’t expect this bar to last me more than a year. Would I buy this trap bar again? Doubt it. I guess I get what I paid for.

My scales weigh the bar at 23kg. Slightly heavier than an olympic BBell. So far so good. It seems strong and sturdy. The double grip is good. Unfortunately, it loses a star as the welding for the handles is a little out of line. Ultimately it doesn't affect the product but it does mean hand grip is not in a 'true' neutral grip as advertised. That's why I've dropped a star. But let's face it, it's the cheapest Hex bar on Amazon.jp at time of purchase so quality/price is very good

It’s a beast of a bar but I love it and use it often. It has great knurling for grip and it’s built solid. There are 2 ways of picking up and feels great in your hands. I use it for shrugs, deadlifts, farmers walk, and after doing forearms I’ll just go pick it up with 2 45’s a side and hang on to it till failure. Recommended all day long.

Excellent build quality. The end caps were a bit difficult to get off before first use, but the bar is very solid and has very good weight to it.

Ordered this bar yesterday and arrived today fairly early. Put it straight to work tonight and it was amazing! Great balance, grips feel good, and felt a lot better doing deadlifts with this over a straight Olympic bar. Also, the price is right 👌🏼

Solid Bar, Good quality
