OVERVIEW
Add variety to your training with the REP Open Trap Bar. It’s designed to place the weight directly in line with your center of gravity instead of in front like a traditional barbell. Its neutral handle placement makes deadlifting much less technique intensive, while its open design allows for a versatile range of movements like squats, lunges, and presses. The bar features an integrated deadlift jack that makes loading and unloading the bar easier, featuring plastic liners on the feet to protect your floors. The jack also acts as a counterweight to keep the bar beautifully balanced. Weighing in at 58.4lbs (not including the handles), the bar features a round tube frame which makes it comfortable to use as a cambered bar for both pressing and squatting. The frame features a 6” section of medium-light knurling to add grip when squatting.
The textured matte black powder coat is not only sleek, but also provides an added level of grip. The REP Open Trap Bar features fully knurled, stainless-steel handles, except the Rotating Handles, which are steel with a hard-chrome finish. All handles are not only removable, but also removable quickly. Choose the handles that will give you the best width inside the bar: Narrow (23”), Standard (25”), Wide (27.3”), Rotating (24.6"), or get multiple handles to switch up lifting angles and add versatility to your training. All the handles feature a 28mm diameter, while the rotating handles also feature a 38mm and 48mm handle. The bar's sleeves are plated with hard chrome, a durable premium coating that stands up against sliding plates on and off. The bar is also rackable. Even on wide, 49” racks, the bar will sit flush and secure. Leg day is coming! Are you ready?
