Solid Strength Open Trap Bar

Our Solid Strength Open Trap Bar (also known as an Open Hex Bar) combines durability, versatility, and ergonomic design to redefine your workout experience. With an open-side design, two different handle options, ample plate loading space, grippy knurling, and plate-loading feet, this bar really does have it all!

Hex, or trap, bars are designed with injury prevention, rehab, and ergonomics in mind. All trap bars, open or fully enclosed, are designed to align the barbell weight with your body’s natural centre of gravity. This will reduce the strain on your back and hips — allowing for a safer and more effective lift.

Open trap bars build on the safety and injury prevention aspects of this even more! Our bar’s open-side structure facilitates easy entry and exit, making it suitable for all fitness levels, especially those focusing on safe lifting practices or anyone with mobility limitations.

The open-side design of this bar also makes it versatile and adaptable to any fitness routine as it’s not just for deadlifts anymore! Now you can lunge, Zercher squat, press, shrug, farmers carry, and more with this barbell.

To add to this bar’s versatility, our Open Trap Bar has two different grip/handle options that allow you to choose between an in-line or elevated hand position. Both grip positions further minimise wrist and shoulder stress, ensuring your focus remains on strength, not discomfort.

To finish it off, this barbell is designed with innovative 'feet' which allow you to stand the bar up for easy plate loading and unloading. The feet also allow you to store this bar upright to take up less space while it’s not in use.

Advantages Over Traditional Hex Bars:
Both enclosed and open trap bars offer an array of benefits that can’t be replicated with normal Olympic barbells. Here are a few things to consider if you’re stuck between a traditional trap bar and an open option…

Greater Range of Motion:
The open design of our Hex Bar grants a greater range of motion for your exercises. This will promote more dynamic and functional workouts. This feature is ideal for athletes seeking to enhance their performance and flexibility, rather than just focusing on strength.

More Exercise Variability:
Break free from the limitations of enclosed bars. Our Open Hex Bar allows you to explore a wider variety of movements and stances — such as lunges,  Zercher squats, and farmers carries — making it a versatile addition to any fitness program.

Ease of Use:
Transition seamlessly between exercises without the hassle of stepping in and out of a traditional hex bar. The open design simplifies workouts, making it a time-efficient choice for both commercial gyms and home fitness enthusiasts.
