Our take on the Olympic Hex Bar

The Olympic Hex Bar is a trap bar forged from 188,000 PSI steel with a 700 lb static load rating and solid welded sleeves. Its hex shape puts the load in line with your center of gravity, which shifts work to the hips and spares the lower back at the bottom of a deadlift. Two knurled grip options let you train with a neutral grip or a wider stance. It suits lifters who want safer deadlifts, farmers walks and jump work, and it ships with straps and spring collars.

About the Olympic Hex Bar

The Olympic Hex Bar, also called a trap bar, is a hexagonal deadlift bar. You stand inside the frame, so the weight stays in line with your center of gravity. This shifts the load to your hips at the bottom of the lift and reduces lower spine engagement during deadlifts. It also opens up other exercises beyond the deadlift.

The bar is forged from 188,000 PSI tensile strength steel and has solid welded sleeves. It is rated for a 700 lb static load. It has a 1.5 medium knurl and two sets of grip options, with dual knurled grips.

Questions and answers

Is a hex bar better than a straight bar for deadlifts?
For many lifters it is easier on the lower back, because the load sits in line with your center of gravity and shifts work to the hips. A straight bar still trains the conventional pull more specifically.
What is the weight capacity?
The bar is rated for a 700 lb static load, built from 188,000 PSI steel with solid welded sleeves.
What comes in the box?
The bar ships with weightlifting straps and a pair of spring collars.
Does it fit standard Olympic plates?
It is an Olympic hex bar with sleeves sized for Olympic plates, and the included spring collars secure them.
Can I do farmers walks with it?
Yes. The two grip options and hex frame make it well suited to loaded carries, shrugs and jump work as well as deadlifts.
Where is the Olympic Hex Bar cheapest?
At Barbell Standard, for $180.00, as of our latest check.
