Overview
An Olympic trap bar and shrug bar built for deadlifts, shrugs, and carries, measuring 50 by 29 by 14 inches with 9.5 inch loadable sleeves and a 28 pound frame rated to a 500 pound suggested load.
It ships unassembled and needs a 17mm wrench that is not included in the box.
- 50 x 29 x 14 inch frame
- 9.5 inch loadable sleeves
- 28 pound bar weight
- 500 pound suggested load capacity
Who it's for
Works for home gym owners who want deadlift and shrug training without the back strain of a straight bar, especially those newer to lifting or managing back issues. Not the pick for anyone without a compatible wrench on hand or who wants a bar that arrives ready to lift.
Pros and cons
- Reduces lower back strain versus straight bar deadlifts
- Compact footprint for a home gym
- Feels sturdy under load
- Ships unassembled with no wrench included
- One weight sleeve ran tight with certain plate brands
Performance notes
Assembly runs through 17mm bolts joining the frame and weight sleeves, and one reviewer found a sleeve fit snug enough with a specific plate brand that loading took extra care.
