The IFAST Olympic Hex Trap Bar is a solid steel trap bar with a 2-inch Olympic sleeve, dual knurling positions and raised handles. It is built for deadlifts, shrugs and farmer's carries, with a stated capacity over 1,000 pounds. The raised handles let lifters who struggle with a straight-bar pull start higher, and the hex shape puts the load in line with the body. Against basic trap bars it adds a second handle height and longer loadable sleeves; against open-back or rotating-sleeve designs it is a simpler fixed frame.

Owners of hex trap bars in this class generally report solid welds and a stable pull, and value the dual handle heights. Complaints tend to center on finish and knurling consistency and on the bar's bulk.
The IFAST Olympic Hex Trap Bar is a hexagonal weight-lifting bar made of heavy-duty steel. It is not hollow and has a maximum capacity of 1000 lb. The bar ends are 1.97 inches in diameter, so it fits standard plates with holes of 2 inches or less.
The bar has extra-long loadable sleeves for adding more weight. It has multiple knurling positions and lengths. Regular and raised handles give you two handle options.
The hex shape and the neutral knurled handles are made for deadlifts and shrugs. The load sits in the center of the bar rather than off-axis as with a traditional deadlift, which reduces pressure on the lumbar spine.
