HulkFit 2-Inch Olympic Trap Bar Hex Bar Weightlifting and Strength Training Exercise Equipment for Home Gym Light Commercial Gym - Deadlifts, Squats, Rows, Bench Press and Farmer Carries, Multicolor

I'm 66 years old, and I've been lifting for over 50 years, and I hope to keep it up until they plant me. Deadlifts have been getting uncomfortable over the last few years, so I thought I'd try a trap bar, with the added benefit of it being a lot shorter than an Olympic bar, making it easier to use and store in a home gym.I've just finished my first workout the HulkFit trap bar, and it felt great. I bought the regular chrome model. I didn't use a whole lot of weight, because at my age you have to ease into any new exercise, but it's obvious that the bar is very sturdy, and will hold more weight than I'll ever use. The grips are knurled just right, so they help you grip it with sweaty hands without making you feel like you grabbed a cactus. Best of all, they are nearly a foot long, so you can move your grip forward or backward and move the center of gravity to just where you want it.Pros:- Fast (free) shipping. I ordered it the evening of October 1, they said it would get here October 4, which I doubted because of its weight. It actually arrived the morning of October 3. A day and a half, and I live in a very small town on the northern coast of Washington.- Very well packaged. Every inch of it was covered with sturdy cardboard. Then a blanket (seriously) around that. Then several layers of plastic wrap around that. Took me 15 minutes to cut all of that off of it.- Good size and weight. I'm 6'-2, 250 pounds, and over the years I've bought stuff where they must have used a munchkin in the picture to make the product look bigger. I was a little worried that my ass or knees would hit the bar going up or down. But it's perfect for me, plenty of room inside, and the handles are right where I want them. In case you don't know, it has two sets of handles. If you're using small plates and you don't want to bend too far over, you can use the upper handles, which are about six inches above the weight holders. If you're using large plates, you can flip the whole thing upside down and use the lower handles, which are flush with the weight holders. Note that the handles themselves don't move or adjust, everything is solidly welded on this bar. I guess if you're young and want to go super low, you can stand on a board.Cons: Really none so far. There were a couple of nicks, but it's a deadlift bar, not a mirror, so who cares?For the price, especially including free shipping, I think it's a great value. About half a month's cable bill for a piece of equipment that will last a lifetime.

Overall impression:Great value; pick heavy things up and put them back down - this bar does an excellent job. I have now used this bar for 3 days and I had my deadlifts up to 340# without any problems. The weight arms could be slightly longer but I am not a powerlifting competitor looking to push 450+ pounds any time soon. I am a orthopedic/sports physical therapist by profession and I would recommend this bar to anyone who wants to deadlift and row safely who is not going to be competing in powerlifting competitions where you need to use a barbell. Key as always...learn the proper technique.Pros:1. Solid and well put together; No bad welds; symmetrical2. Shipping/Delivery - tough product to ship given its dimensions but it came wrapped in a cotton type rug, with cardboard around the bar and wrapped in plastic. Easy to open; A few dings but I don't care it is a weight lifting bar im going to ding it up in use (not bent at all)3. Not a competing powerlifter so I am very pleased with this bar for deadlifts and bent over rows - really helps to lock in my back compared to traditional barbell4. The different handle positions are great to perform various techniques of exercises.Cons:1. I mentioned a few dings due to shipping and the black paint does chip relatively easy but let me be honest I bought the bar to pick heavy things up and set them back down. I planned on beating this bar up quite a bit with my workouts so I don't find this to be an issue like others who have purchased this trap bar. This is not a huge issue to me and does not lower the value of this bar to me.2. Knurling - slightly rough on my hands after the first few uses but getting better with time; I expected this however and as the weight goes up I start to use straps which reduces the stress on my hands. Again - this is not a huge issue and does not reduce my value of this bar at all.

Barra Olímpica hexagonal que cumple su funcion a la perfección. Viene incluso con su par de seguros. Construcción sólida. Yo si la recomiendo.

Per il prezzo di acquisto direi che questa trap bar ha superato le mie aspettative. Ovvio, non aspettatevi saldature alla pari di bilancieri che costano il doppio ma risulta essere ben fatto e molto solido. Nel mio caso non ho riscontrato la presenza di ruggine o ammaccature.

Liked:1. Durability,2. Weight capacity,3. PriceDisliked:1. Sleeve length,2. Sleeve paint.The hex bar is extremely tough, very likely having the advertised weight capacity. However, it would be tough to meet that weight capacity with the sleeves due to their length. Without thin stainless steel plates, you're likely to get stuck around the 405lbs range, or a bit above depending on the rubber coating of a plate. Not that this is not a lot of weight though. Also, the paint chips off pretty quickly, which really doesn't bug me (my garage gym is not intended to be an art gallery), but it may bug some people. Just ignore the paint. Use clips if you're worried about plates slipping due to paint chipping off.Overall, I recommend the bar for the price, durability, and weight capacity.

Me encantó, tenia mis dudas sobre que barra elegir entre tantas en la plataforma y me alegra haber escogido esta, todo llego súper bien ya que viene muy bien empacada!:)

The quality and balance is perfect. A definite good buy and solid training tool.
