HulkFit Olympic 2-Inch Hex Weight Lifting Trap Bar, 1000-Pound Capacity

shipping was garbage, but i've ordered a lot of of gym equipment from amazon that had the same issue. but i mean it was terrible - literally just in a bag, got scratched up pretty good. but i was fine w/ that, it is what it is. however, upon closer inspection, one of the joints was already rusted pretty bad. i'm surprised there was no quality control prior to sending, as it's obvious this was sitting in a warehouse for quite some time. really poor practice.as for the bar itself, it's solid, you won't go wrong there. a great addition to your home gym to be sure.

Structural engineer here... I think I'm being very generous with 3 stars here. At the end of the day, the bar probably won't break during use and will get the job done. But the product quality... Packaging was sketchy to say the least. Opening it up, the welds are just plain terrible. I never would have passed my welding class if I had tried submitting these. Spatter around every weld and rust on the welds. You can tell they just built up the weld to make up for the lack of a good bead. If I may make a tip, tell your welders to hold the bead closer, and going over the same weld to build it up is poor practice. Weld heights are also very inconsistent. Just bad all around. The steel itself seems good. Knurl was VERY aggressive. Loaded 225 for farmers carries and my fingers were screaming after about 10 seconds. But if that's what you like, maybe it's for you. Maybe I just have baby hands? At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend, but it gets the job done.See my photos for welds and my hands after 15 seconds.

Bought this bar for my clients and colleagues to use at the facility I work out at.The regular hex-bar can only do so much..Regular Hex Bar:- weighs standard 45 lb, hold approx 400~ pounds.- can variety of Deadlifts, shrugs and farmer’s walk.This Monstrous Hulk Fit Bar:- weights 70~ lb- accommodates up to 1000 lb- can use for: incline chest supported rows, standing military shoulder presses, Bulgarian split squats/Rear-Elevvated Split Squats, Reverse Lunges, Farmer’s Walk, Seal Rows.As you can see, it has way more use with this bar vs the traditional hex.Great bar. I had a lot of clients and friends complimented on its use. Will recommend and repurchase again.

I purchased this bar as a gift for someone for Christmas and paid extra for the black finish. The bar itself seems sturdy and feels nice and heavy, but the black finish is disappointing, with the finish already flaking and wearing off before they have even had a chance to use it. If I had known the finish was so poor on the black version I would have saved the money and gotten the chrome finish.

I like this bar. It is the same bar you would see in a commercial gym. It is heavy enough to do warm up sets with just the bar. Note that it is rather long, not too much shorter than a full size Olympic bar, and therefore requires a fair amount of space for use and storage. One minor problem I had was that the bar was not nice and shiny, it looked as if it sat in a dusty/damp warehouse too long so I give it 4 stars. However, I got over it because, it is solid steel, virtually indestructible and works as intended.Of note, if you have never used this type of bar it takes a few reps to become accustomed to where to grip the bar such that it is balanced during the reps. It also takes a few workouts to become accustomed to the angle to use during the reps to hit your glutes/hamstrings or quadriceps, all the while relieving lower back stress. However, if you are concerned about spine compression from doing squats this bar is pretty good substitute. You will also feel it in shoulders, trapeziums, and arms, not just the legs. - Check out a number of YouTube videos before you buy one.

I have a home gym and work out early in the morning, so I have to use bumper plates or my whole neighborhood and family would kill me. Trouble is, you just can't fit enough bumper plates on a bar to deadlift a decent amount of weight. I searched everywhere until I found this thing. This hex bar is a BEAST!!! 19.5" loadable sleeve length lets me fit 6, 55 pound bumpers on each side for a total weight of 735 pounds! Solid as hell, knurling is super deep for excellent grip and holds the chalk well. Open back lets me do walking lunges down the driveway. Takes a few tries to find the center of gravity on the low handles, but if you grab in the center of the knurl you'll find the sweet spot. Defintely an amazing product and well worth the extra $100 for the extra sleeve length. Highly recommended!

Very happy with my purchase so far. This bar is solid, and handles the load with ease. You couldn't beat the price on this bar either. The only negative I see, is that the width is small compared to more expensive bars, but I already knew this prior to my purchase. I'm only 5'9" tall and 205lbs., so someone taller/bigger may need a wider bar, but this one suits me fine. I've already used it for Trap Bar Deadlifts, Shrugs, and Rows with no issues. I would caution a user to either tape up the grips, or use gloves, because the handles are a bit rough, but I've never encountered a trap bar that isn't. I would buy this bar, and other products from this company again...recommended.

This has got to be the best investment I've made to build my legs and back up for sure! In 2013 I nearly broke my back doing deadlifts with 315 lbs. I made the rookie deadlifting mistake of taking my belt off because it was hurting my gut.... All I heard was a pop and I couldn't drop it since it was strapped to my wrists. I had to go all the way back down.... Horrifically painful time in my life. Since that mistake, I've had bulging disc, and the only way to get my back strong again is to start from scratch (just the bar) and work my way back up. This bar is the best tool for deadlifting! Having those side handles instead of having to reach to my ankles has made a world of difference on my lower back! It is so much more comfortable to get the lift started that a traditional barbell! Worth every penny! And I'm already getting strong again. Having weights at home is so much better than the gym.

Could have gone and done a little more detail with the wire wheel few little spots from the welds but besides that very solidAnd sturdy piece of equipment big game changer

There were more expensive products but this one arrived in just over a week and was less expensive than another brand that would take months. Well made and good product, wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Hulkfit product.

Received my order in 3 days and used the Hex bar today. I love it! Huge difference from traditional dead lifts. I have zero back pain and can focus on my lift with more weight. The HulkFit bar is well made, good quality and sturdy, I highly recommend it.

this product shipped quickly and was wrapped well to protect the product before it got to me. i use this bar everyday and i just love it. so much better than paying a gym membership every year!

Ends of bar were damaged when it arrived. (Paint chipped )But now that I have can understand why. Paint chips off each and every time I use itI DO NOT RECOMMEND

Just received this today and put it to use immediately. Bar is very sturdy. I had just shy of 600 lbs on it. For the price you can’t beat it.

If you want to do squats correctly at home and you don’t have a squat rack, this piece of equipment is a great and compact alternative.

A good deadlift bar for the cost, the only improvement would be longer ends for holding more weight

Short bar, 2 inch works great, black finish does peel but I have yet to meet a bar that doesn’t.

Great bar for a good price

Gets the job done perfectly.
