I’m pleased with this product. The design allows you to load plates easily as it has good clearance height from the floor. Plates with the standard 1 inch diameter hole fit perfectly, plus there is adequate room to load up several plates of you need to lift heavy. I would recommend this to all who are seeking a safer deadlift than a traditional straight bar offers.

This truly has a max rate of maybe 200lbs!No way is it rated for 400lbs!!!Low weight and high repetitions is all it could possibly withstand.Price should be $89-$100

Finding a trap bar for 1 inch weights is not so easy these days. I am glad I found this oneand it will suffice for my needs. It is easy to assemble, sturdy and a nice addition to my gym.I cannot rate how much weight it truly can handle yet as I have not stacked it up.. but all in all this is an excellent buy for the money and a lifesaver for those of us that prefer 1 inch plates.

This Trap Bar has been such a Great Investment. If you have had back Problems and Can't do regular squats or regular Dead lifts. This is THE TRAP BAR for you! It totally Protects & Strengthens your back and forces you to utilize your squat and dead lift in the Perfect Form. I suggest Re-Selling this On Amazon. I Obviously,already purchased this equipment. But others are out there that REALLY NEED this Trap Bar because of back pain. Please start RE-Selling it again,cause I see it is "Currently Unavailable."It is INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL to other people like myself,who need special equipment to continue their training,while protecting &strengthening the back.

*** Update - I’ve been using this hex bar 2-3 times each week for 6 weeks now. Performs as I had hoped. Plate hangers show some wear and the plastic end caps can come off when plates are removed. But, all bolts remain tight and all frame welds are great. If you’re on concrete like me, recommend you use this on a floor mat to deaden metal to concrete noise and prevent wear.I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BAR. ***I wanted a hex bar that wouldn’t break the bank, could accommodate my existing 1” plates, and that would be sturdy enough for heavy lifts. My 5 first impressions after assembly and use:1. Super easy to assemble, even with 2 adjustable wrenches. Took less than 10 minutes to unpack and assemble! ( Pay attention to the bolt sizes. 4 are longer for the center and 4 are shorter for the edges. )2. Came well-packed and in perfect condition.3. Handles 250 lbs. no problem. Expect the 300 lbs. limit is accurate.4. Recommend you use this on a cushioned floor mat since it has an all-metal frame.5. I would guess this bar works fine for most people. I am 6’3” tall and I get great flexion and extension with it.

I'm impressed with the quality for the price. It's useful for squats and standing shrugs and makes them feel safer. The only drawback is that the feet make it very bulky and difficult to stow away if you have limited space. I might end up cutting them off all together. I think for something this bulky, some minor design changes could be made to broaden its uses for a few more exercises like rows and seated shrugs. However, if you have a large floor space to just keep it out and are ok with it being good for only a few specific exercises, it it serves its purpose well. Another minor annoyance, though not major is that the through holes are quite big for the bolt sizes, which makes assembling it with good alignment a bit of a challenge. The two center bolts on either end are also slightly longer than the outboard bolts, which could be easily overlooked if you are putting it together in a hurry, so take note of this. Also, I would highly recommend getting clamp style collars for the 1" plate bars. The spring ones are sketchy on a standard 1 inch bar.

Had to wait for this a little longer to ship, possibly because of the corona virus, but it was worth it.The hex bar is an unusual design vs. the more traditional ones, so at first I hesitated...However, having mostly standard plates and unable to get more Olympic at regular retail price (due to the VULTURES reselling at 5x regular price) I decided to go with a standard hex bar. This was the only option available, and I’m grateful to New York Barbell for making this product available.I’m my usage case, having this trap bar and dumbbells at standard size, frees my few Olympic plates for the bigger movements.As for the bar itself, it looks bad ass and it’s definitely a sturdy piece of equipment. The paint is not really silver as it appears in the pictures, it’s more of a shiny gray.Also, for the dim wits complaining about the hex nuts not fitting, they are 100% the right size. They have a nylon washer at one end to help secure them in place, so you have to use enough torque to get the bolt past the said washer. Once you do that, you continue tightening until everything is in place.
