Summary
If you’re looking for an inexpensive and rackable trap bar, you should consider the BalanceFrom Olympic 2-Inch Hex Weight Lifting Trap Bar. Weighing only 45 pounds with a 1000-pound weight capacity, this bar offers the benefits of an open-ended design at a lower cost. When using this bar, its footprint is 70 inches long by 22 inches wide by 8 inches high, and it is also rackable for easier storage. The bar is constructed from steel and has a black paint finish. It also comes fully assembled, so you simply add weight plates to the loadable sleeves to begin your workout. If you’re an experienced lifter who’s putting a lot of weight on the bar, this is not the right product for you; however, if you’re a beginner, this is a good trap bar to check out.
