WHY USE A HEX/TRAP BAR?

Reduced back strain: The Hex/Trap Bar design can help reduce tension in the lumbar spine, offering a hinge movement that has less risk of back injury than a traditional deadlift. 

Improved hip and leg power: Many lifters find that a Hex/Trap Bar deadlift allows them to use their legs and hips more effectively and lift more weight than with a conventional deadlift. 

Versatile: Whether you’re a beginner learning the mechanics of deadlifting or a tall athlete who finds conventional deadlifting challenging, the Hex/Trap Bar is designed to accommodate various body types and skill levels. A lot of lifters also use it to shake up their routine, as you can lift a lot heavier with a Hex/Trap Bar.

Safety: The bar’s structure helps maintain a stable position throughout the lift, reducing the risk of losing balance and compromising your form.

FAQ

Who should use a Hex/Trap Bar?
The Hex/Trap Bar is suitable for anyone looking to deadlift while minimising back strain. It’s commonly used by athletes who want to minimise their injury risk (especially if they compete) but still want the benefits of a deadlift. 

Can the Hex/Trap Bar be used for exercises other than deadlifts?
Absolutely! While its primary purpose is deadlifts, you can also use a Hex/Trap Bar for accessory exercises like shrugs and farmer’s walks.

How do I choose the right handle height?
Our bar has two handle heights, so you can swap between them based on your preferences and training goals. The lower handles mimic a more traditional deadlift, while the higher handles reduce the range of motion, making it easier for those with limited flexibility.
