About the Open Trap Bar / Hex Bar

Overview

The Bells of Steel Open Trap Bar is a highly versatile strength-training tool engineered for deadlifts, rows, carries, lunges, squats, RDLs, presses, and dozens of accessory movements—without beating up your back in the process.

Its open design, integrated deadlift jack, dual handle heights with neutral grip placement, compact and stable build make it easier to use, easier to load, and easier to control than traditional hex bars. Built from high-strength steel with fully knurled handles, it delivers premium quality and performance at a home-gym-friendly price — offering unmatched value compared to competitors' alternatives.

Whether you're brand new, chasing PRs, or getting back under the bar after a "life happened" phase, this bar is a must-have tool in your training arsenal.

Why Choose an Open Trap Bar?

Open trap bars have become the modern standard because they solve problems older hex bars can't:

• Improved movement freedom (lunges, rows, carries, split squats)

• Safer mechanics for beginners learning hinge patterns

• Easier loading due to the built-in jack designs
