Titan fitness Rackable Hex Trap Bar V3 - 430144

The Olympic Hex Trap Bar combines the flush handle of a regular hex bar with a raised grip to create a multifunctional specialty barbell. This trap bar, constructed from precision-grade stainless steel, is designed to be used inside your power rack, perform rack pulls, shoulder presses, and other such lifts with the help of safety straps, pins, or spotter arms. Outside of the rack, the bar sits 7.5" off the ground and is crafted with 28 mm knurled neutral handles that give a firm, sturdy grip as you lift your weights. This hexagonal design, made to support a weight capacity of up to 800 LB, allows you to lift safer, isolates certain muscle groups, and will last you a lifetime.

UPDATED VERSION: The Rackable Trap Bar now has an improved black powder coat, medium diamond texture knurling, and Titan branded endcaps.
