How does the trap bar work?

This barbell is a premium quality, strength and power bar that will improve your overall functional strength. Include this barbell to complete your workout routine and fitness equipment fitout. This bar is the perfect way for athletes to practice and improve their heavy lifting, and more specifically dead-lifts while limiting the strain and risk of injury on your back.

The difference in characteristics between the standard barbell come mainly in the shape of their centre. For the common barbell, it is just a piece of straight metal that you load weight onto either side on. This shape will assure that the weight load always gravitates toward either in front of or behind the athlete. However, the Hex Bar or Trap Bar is made with a hexagonal-shaped centre that athletes are meant to step into. They are to hold onto the straight bars that sit on the two sides of the hexagon where the weight is attached. Essentially this means that the barbell can now be carried from your centre of gravity, giving you significantly greater ease and safety than ever before.
