What is the weight capacity?

Marcy rates it for up to 800 lb total, including the bar's own 50 lb.

How much does the bar weigh empty?

It weighs 50 lb, so it is heavier than a typical straight Olympic bar.

Our take on the Marcy Olympic Hex Bar

The Marcy Olympic Hex Trap Bar is a 50 lb trap bar with a hexagonal frame that puts the load in line with your body, so deadlifts and shrugs feel more natural than with a straight bar. It has two sets of knurled handles, regular and raised, so you can pick your grip height and range of motion. The 2-inch Olympic sleeves are 10 inches long and rated for up to 800 lb total. It suits home lifters who want a back- and leg-friendly deadlift without the technique demands of a straight bar, and it costs far less than a rotating-sleeve trap bar from a specialty brand.
