LeadStrong Open Hex Trap Bar

LeadStrong Open Hex Trap Bar

The LeadStrong open hex trap bar features an open-frame design that allows lifters to step into and out of the bar freely — eliminating the need to step over a closed frame. This hex trap bar is built for deadlift variations, farmer’s carries, shrugs, and loaded jumps, with raised and recessed handle positions that accommodate different grip heights for varying movement demands.

With a 27kg bar weight and maximum load capacity of 650kg, this hex trap bar is engineered for heavy strength training in commercial gym and serious home gym settings. Knurled handles give a secure grip under heavy loads, and hard chrome plating delivers durable corrosion resistance for long-term use.

Technical Specifications

Who Is This Hex Trap Bar For?

This hex trap bar suits powerlifters, strength coaches, and gym-goers who want the unique loading position of a trap bar deadlift — where the load is centred at the sides of the body rather than in front. The open frame design makes this hex trap bar particularly accessible for users who find stepping into and out of a closed hex bar difficult. It also suits strongman training, loaded carries, and athlete performance programmes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an open hex trap bar and a standard closed hex bar?
An open hex trap bar has an open frame that lets you walk into the bar from the side rather than stepping over it, making setup easier — especially for loaded carries and users with limited mobility.

What lifts can I do with this hex trap bar?
Common exercises include trap bar deadlifts, farmer’s carries, shrugs, loaded jumps, Romanian deadlifts, and bent-over rows using the raised handles.

Does this hex trap bar fit standard Olympic plates?
Yes. The 50mm sleeves on both ends accept all standard Olympic weight plates.
