HULKFIT BLACK RAISED HANDLE TRAP, HEX, SHRUG, DEADLIFT BAR
EXCELLENT CONDITION
The bar is designed exclusively for certain strength training and weightlifting applications. It is a specially designed bar that allows a weightlifter to perform certain exercises, such as dead lifts, shoulder shrugs and a variety of presses in a fluid and safe manner. The design of the trap bar consists of a diamond or a hexagonal configuration that forms a “ring” around the weightlifter, with twin protrusions jutting out either side for the plates of weight to be stacked. The trap bar is then utilized through handles that the weightlifter pulls upward from the floor toward the shoulders, bringing the bar and weights along with it.
Though the trap bar is not all that common in many modern, commercial gyms, the weight training device remains extremely popular in competitive power lifting and weight training circles. Numerous trainers herald the device as the pre-eminent tool for focused, safe and efficient training for a lifter’s back, shoulders, legs and arms. In addition to improving safety and preventing injury, the bar actually enables competitive power lifters to lift more weight per repetition than the standard Olympic bar.
The raised handles are a must for anyone looking to build mass and strength in the traps and legs. The bar with raised handles allows for easier pick up from the ground and reduces the strain on your hands and back as you perform deadlifts, squats, etc. This highly versatile piece of equipment features shoulder width, parallel handles.

* Bent legged deadlift aka Squatlift
