Commercial Open Trap Bar with Rotating Tri-Grip Handles

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Open Trap Bar is a must-have for serious lifters, designed to deliver stability, safety, and versatility in every workout. With 10 lb counterbalances strategically placed on each side, the bar stays perfectly level and balanced, ensuring a steady lifting experience no matter how much weight you add. This feature allows you to focus entirely on your lifts, improving form and reducing the risk of tipping or shifting.

The elevated Olympic sleeves make plate loading effortless and safe. No more awkward tilting or lifting to get plates onto the bar—just slide them on smoothly. The sleeves are designed to keep bumper plates less than a millimeter off the floor, perfectly simulating a true deadlift experience. This efficient loading system not only saves time but also minimizes strain, making it ideal for lifters at any level.

The open hex design enhances functionality by providing an unrestricted range of motion, making it perfect for a variety of exercises, including deadlifts, lunges, shrugs, and farmer’s walks. This design allows you to target muscles from different angles and perform dynamic movements without the limitations of a closed-bar design.

The bar’s rotating, knurled tri-grip handles are available in 30mm, 38mm, and 45mm diameters, giving you the flexibility to customize your grip for different training goals. The 30mm handle offers a standard grip, while the thicker options are ideal for advanced lifters looking to improve grip strength and challenge themselves further.

Built to handle up to 850 lbs, the bar is made with durability and safety in mind. Rubber feet protect your gym flooring, while the powder-coated finish ensures the bar resists wear and tear from heavy use. Unlike other bars with built-in deadlift jacks that can tip over, this bar remains stable and secure, providing peace of mind during storage and use.

Whether you're training for strength, endurance, or functional fitness, this bar is engineered to meet the demands of any lifting program. Its thoughtful design and premium construction make it an essential tool for maximizing performance and safety in the gym.
