High handle trap bar.
The custom designed rotating tri grip handle system allows you to choose from small 1 medium 1 1 2 or large 2 diameter knurled grips on each side of the bar.
Bars have 1 97 bar end diameter to ensure bars fit all standard plates with holes 2 or less.
When loaded with 45s you can either use a set of handles that s the same height as a regular bb deadlift or you can flip the bar over and use a set of handles that s about 3 5 higher.
Those are some pretty high handles.
Dual handle design to add more versatility to your workout.

The hex trap bar features a dual handle design with a 25 spread for a comfortable lift.
Additionally it doesn t require any equipment setup and people just tend to be a little less stubborn about using the high handles since the weight still starts on the floor.
In most trap bars that i ve ever seen the high handles are 2 to 3 inches higher than the low handles.
Heavy duty construction for a stout and durable design for years of heavy lifting.
The trap bar is also a great way to increase quad strength and it takes a bit of stress off the lower back as the handles keep the center of gravity closely aligned with the hips.
