![]() ![]() Think of a teeter-totter - it's an inherently unbalanced mechanism, just like a regular trap bar with low handles. This results in the same effect, but to a lesser extent, as the high-handles - the bar will have a tendency to return to center rather than dive forward or backwards. Our simple solution on The Trap Bar was to introduce a minor 1/2" vertical offset for the low handles, placing them slightly higher than the centerline of the bar. The bar always feels like it wants to dive forwards or backwards, forcing the lifter to self-balance using their wrists. Traditional trap or hex bars that feature low handles aligned with the center of the weight plates are unbalanced much in the same way that a playground teeter-totter is. This open design allows for much more variation beyond your standard deadlift, including loaded carries, split squats, RDLs, and lunges. In an effort to make The Trap Bar HD as versatile of a barbell as possible, we opted to open up one end of the bar while still ensuring it retains a fully-balanced design. The standard bar includes 25" brackets and customers can use the checkboxes above to add a wider (27" width) or narrower (23" width) handle brackets. The Trap Bar HD features an industry-first variable handle system that allows for a 23", 25", or 27" intra-handle width using swappable handle brackets. ![]() We designed The Trap Bar HD to allow for an effortless transition from horizontal to vertical position, requiring minimal effort and taking advantage of human kind's earliest discovery - the lever. Our design features 2x inch-thick "legs" with tread to provide grip and stability when the bar is positioned in a vertical orientation for easy loading/unloading. We are proud to introduce a simple, effortless solution - the built-in bar jack. The age-old struggle of loading and unloading plates from your trusty trap bar is over.
