This is an Olympic hex (trap) bar bundled with 160 lb of bumper plates: two 45s, two 25s and two 10s, plus spring collars and lifting straps. The bar is built from 188,000 PSI steel and rated to a 700 lb static load, with dual knurled grips, one set raised 4 inches so you can flip the bar for a higher or lower pull. The hex shape keeps the load in line with your center of gravity, which takes stress off the lower back on deadlifts and opens up shrugs, rows, farmer walks and presses. It suits home lifters who want one bar that covers pulls and carries without a full rack of equipment.

Owners rate it highly, calling it well made with clean welds and comfortable knurling. Most mention the compact size and small footprint as the reason it works in a home gym, and several call it good value for a bar-and-plates bundle.
The Barbell Standard Hex Bar is a hex (trap bar) design that keeps the weight aligned with your center of gravity. This reduces the load on your lower back during deadlifts. It also adds exercises to a home gym, including shrugs, rows, farmer walks and overhead presses.
The bar has two sets of knurled grips. One set is raised 4 inches above the plate centerline, and you flip the bar to switch between them. The knurl is medium, for a secure grip that isn't overly abrasive.
The bar is forged from 188,000 PSI tensile strength steel and rated for a 700 LB static load. A bright zinc coating resists corrosion. This set pairs the bar with 160 LB of bumper plates, and weightlifting straps and a pair of spring collars come with it.
