Features

  • RAISED HANDLES FOR COMFORTABLE LIFTING Raised neutral-grip handles provide a higher starting position than traditional trap bars, reducing the starting range of motion for deadlifts, shrugs, carries, and other strength training exercises. Designed for athletes who prefer a higher lifting position during training.
  • 500 LB CAPACITY WITH OLYMPIC PLATE COMPATIBILITY Crafted from durable steel and engineered to support up to 500 lbs during demanding strength training. The 9.5-inch loadable sleeves fit all standard 2-inch Olympic weight plates, including bumper plates, providing ample loading capacity for progressive workouts.
  • SPACIOUS OPEN FRAME WITH OPTIMIZED CLEARANCE The roomy diamond-shaped frame provides generous interior clearance, making it easier to step into the bar and establish a comfortable lifting stance. The optimized design offers ample space around your legs throughout deadlifts, shrugs, farmer's carries, and other full-body strength training exercises.
  • SECURE MEDIUM KNURLING FOR CONFIDENT GRIP Features medium-depth knurling on the handles to provide a secure, comfortable grip during heavy pulls, carries, shrugs, and other strength training exercises. The balanced texture helps improve control without feeling overly aggressive.
  • BALANCED TRAP BAR DESIGN FOR STABLE LIFTING Weighing 28 lb, this trap bar positions the load around your body for a balanced lifting experience. The enclosed frame and neutral-grip design support deadlifts, shrugs, carries, and other full-body strength training exercises.

Description

"Whether you are looking to shatter your personal deadlift record, build massive traps, or execute flawless farmer's carries, the CAP Olympic Trap Bar is engineered to deliver a safer, more efficient full-body workout. Traditional straight barbells pull the load forward, putting immense stress on your lumbar spine. This closed-frame hex bar is precision-balanced to distribute weight evenly around your body's center of gravity, keeping the mechanical stress off your lower back and focused entirely on your legs, glutes, and core. Heavy-Duty Construction & Generous Capacity Built from high- tensile alloy steel and secured with heavy-duty carbon steel bolts, this bar is rated to comfortably handle up to 500 lbs. The 9.5-inch loadable sleeve length ensures you have ample workspace to stack thick bumper plates or standard 2-inch Olympic iron. Smart, Home-Gym Friendly Design We know space and floor protection matter. This trap bar features built-in balance feet that elevate the sleeves slightly when the bar is on the ground. This genius addition keeps the bar perfectly level, making loading and unloading heavy plates completely effortless while preventing the frame or weights from scratching your gym floors. Complete with a medium, non-slip knurled texture for a rock-solid grip that won't tear up your hands, this compact 28-lb bar delivers commercial-gym durability straight to your home setup. "

  • 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. ... show more

  • Solid build.
I put this beast together easily. It’s not one solid piece of metal like the more expensive hex bars but once everything was tightened, it’s a solid hex bar. Feels very sturdy and built to last. The paint quality is nice and the metal is nice and thick. I bought the blue one because it was the cheapest and color did not matter to me. I only loaded two 45’s on each side but it handled it well. I don’t plan to lift heavy due to back issues (the reason why I got this.) I’m 5’4 so I stand on blocks to get a deeper squat since this has a built-in stand to prevent your weights from touching the ground. Very happy with this hex bar. Wish I bought it sooner. ... show more

  • Purchased in 2021 it is Perfect, and it Changed My Life!
You can read reviews of this bar, with pictures even, of holes not lining-up or even missing. I bought a returned one for cheap in 2021, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Like with ANY equipment, put ALL the bolts in first, finger tight, and then lightly wrench tight ALL of them in a crisscross pattern, and then hard wrench tight ALL of them the same pattern. Never fully tighten one bolt when the others are not in, or your alignment will never be symmetrical. Same as a car wheel. As a tool guy, the only thing I did not like is that the bolts "should" be tightened to around a torque of 55 (according to size), but the metal of the frame starts to bend at 33 to 36, so only torque to 30 (if you know how). If you don't have a torque wrench, tighten them until the metal just starts to bend on the outside frame. Fender washers should have been provided to reach a higher torque wrench range. Specifics aside, the real review is that this device is AMAZING! I was a body-builder in my twenties at a gym (for looks), but I never did Dead Lifts because they always hurt my back - even with a trainer showing me perfect technique. I was resigned to using a Leg-Press machine. Now much older, I workout at home (for health), and my back just kind of always hurts. It hurts if I don't workout, and it hurts differently from working-out. I have back-braces at home and work for anytime my back decides to randomly act-up. I even have to Bench-Press with my feet-up on the bench because it relieves back pressure. I read one solution to all this can be Dead Lifts, which sounds counter-intuitive, but I was at the point of willing to try anything. Trying them with normal barbell still hurts like it did in my twenties, so I gave-up until I saw and tried-out this bar... and wow, it's just perfect. This bar allows a motion of straight-up instead of slightly forward, and the difference that makes means there is no pain. Now after a few months of use I can do very heavy Dead Lifts... WITH NO BACK PAIN! Not just no pain from Dead Lifts, I have no more back pain in daily life. I'm going to say that again for the people in the back. I HAVE NO MORE BACK PAIN! I'm still cautious with backpain triggers, but in normal day-to-day life I am pain free. I feel young again. I feel strong again. This simple bar, and lot of work, has changed my life. ... show more

  • Great Bar! Although.....
Great bar! Although sewers could be thicker and longer to support more weight. It will most likely break if attempt more than 400lbs even 300lbs is questionable!

  • CAP deadlift and shrug bar is a great buy!
Very well built trap and deadlift bar by CAP. Great look with the blue and easy to use. Good size and room for anyone. Easy assembly also. This will definitely last. This could easily hold 500 pounds with ease. The feel is spot on.

  • Great bar! Love the base!
So I've had the Hex bar for about 3 weeks now and love it. Assembly wasn't an issue (I was concerned looking at older 2018 & '19 reviews), holes lined up. Some minor curvature pulled into place when bolts were tightened so assembled product looks great. USE: I really love the 'stand' effect beneath the bar. Makes it possible to slide my 45# CAP plates on without doing anything but 'sliding them on.' I've done full squats, Bulgarian split squats & lunges, and the clearance is fine for all of those. I don't have an issue with finger clearance at all, so works great. CAPACITY: I'm not training for competition or beefiness, but I see no issue with getting six plates up to around 220 or 240#. I can't speak for performance beyond that. SO - I'd highly recommend this bar. Great price point. I got the blue one because best delivery time. All good! ... show more

  • Easy assembly and so far, so good...
I've had a home gym for years and I'm picky about what I add to it, just based on space...but I'm glad I got this for deadlifts. Price was right on prime days and assembly took me about 20-25 mins with my 5 year old (yes...they just HAD to help) ;) it would be quicker with 2 adults. Anyways, I've used it a few times so far and works great. I'd recommend 👌. Photos attached. ... show more

  • Great product
The bar was easy to assemble and sturdy. I don't plan to lift more than 500 lbs so it was good enough for me. I liked that there were color choices. I also like that it has stands for easier loading. My hands did not touch the weights there was plenty of clearance.
