Comfortable Design: Compared to conventional Olympic barbell deadlifts, the unique design of our bar transfers weights to the sides, making squats and deadlifts safer on your back. Two sets of handles allow for varied positioning. Knurled Handle for Better Grip: The Marcy Olympic Hex Trap Bar has knurling on both the regular handles and raised handles to provide a better grip on your lifts and improve efficiency. Compatible with 2" Diameter Hole Olympic Plates: Use 2” diameter Olympic plates with the Marcy Olympic Hex Trap Bar. With the raised handle facing the floor, loading and unloading weight plates are easy. 800lbs Capacity and 10” Sleeve for Weight Plates: Compact, but robust, the Marcy Olympic Hex Trap Bar holds a total of 800lbs that can easily fit on the 10” long Olympic sleeves. Muscles Worked in a Hex Bar Deadlift: Works for your glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, hip and back extensors, core muscles and lats.
