What is a trap bar good for?

It is built for deadlifts, shrugs, rows and loaded carries. The neutral grip keeps the weight centered, which many lifters find easier on the lower back than a straight bar.

Does it fit standard Olympic plates?

Yes. The sleeves are 2 inches in diameter, the Olympic standard, so plates with 2-inch holes fit. Some owners report a tight fit on certain plates.

How much weight can it hold?

Titan rates the bar at a 500 lb max load. That covers most recreational lifters, but it is not meant for maximal powerlifting pulls.

Is it the same as a hex bar?

Yes. Trap bar and hex bar are two names for the same open-frame design, where you stand inside the bar and grip the handles at your sides.

Can I use it for squats?

Some lifters do trap-bar squats and loaded carries with it, but it is designed around pulling and shrugging movements rather than back squats.

Our take on the Titan Fitness Trap Bar

The Titan Fitness Trap Bar is an Olympic hex bar with a 2-inch sleeve diameter and a 500 lb max load. Its neutral, centered grip puts the weight in line with your body, which makes deadlifts, shrugs and pulls easier to load and easier on the lower back than a straight bar. It suits home gym owners and lifters who want a durable, simple specialty bar without paying for a name-brand trap bar. Owners rate it highly and mostly praise its build and value; a few note a rough finish and tight sleeve tolerances.
