This is an Olympic hex (trap) bar bundled with 250 lb of bumper plates, spring collars and lifting straps. The bar is forged from 188,000 PSI steel, rated for a 700 lb static load, and has dual knurled grips: one set at standard height and one raised four inches, which you get by flipping the bar. The hex shape keeps the load in line with your center of gravity, so deadlifts put less strain on the lower back than a straight bar, and the raised handles help lifters with limited hip or ankle mobility. It suits home gym owners who want one bar for deadlifts, shrugs, farmer's carries and jumps, though the 250 lb plate set limits how far stronger lifters can progress without buying more plates.

This set pairs the Barbell Standard Olympic Hex Bar (trap bar) with a 250 lb bumper plate package. The hex design keeps the weight aligned with your center of gravity, which reduces the load on your lower back during deadlifts. It also opens up additional exercises for a home gym.
The bar is forged from 188,000 PSI tensile strength steel with a corrosion-resistant bright zinc coating. It has a medium knurl and dual knurled grips. One set of grips is raised four inches above the plate centerline, and you flip the bar to switch between the two. The bar is rated for a 700 lb static load.
The handles are 20.25 inches apart, palm to palm. The set has a compact footprint suited to a home gym.
