The CAP Barbell Deluxe Open Trap Bar is engineered to handle heavy loads safely and designed for easy weight loading. Constructed with heavy-duty solid steel and designed with raised handgrips with medium-depth knurling, the CAP Barbell Deluxe Olympic Open Trap Bar ensures maximum performance every time. This open trap bar features a middle handgrip and loading jacks for an effortless solution when loading and unloading Olympic weight plates. Quickly switch from one set to the other by simply grabbing the handle, rotating the bar onto the loading jacks, loading/unloading weights, and rotating the bar back to a horizontal position. The trap bar's open design allows for greater versatility in your workout routine by allowing you to perform seated movements and lunges without banging up your legs. Another benefit of using a trap bar is that this type of bar equally distributes weight among the lower body and torso, putting less strain on your spine and lower back, ultimately allowing for a more effective lift. If you are looking to add versatility to your strength lifting routine and desire quick transitions between sets, then the CAP Olympic Open Trap Bar is the perfect addition to your home gym collection!
