A HEX trap bar, also known as a hex bar or a trap bar, is a type of weightlifting bar that is shaped like a hexagon. It is commonly used for exercises like deadlifts, shrugs, and farmer's walks.
The unique shape of the HEX trap bar allows for the lifter to stand inside the bar, rather than behind it like with a traditional straight barbell. This can help to reduce stress on the lower back and place more emphasis on the quadriceps and glutes during exercises like deadlifts.
HEX trap bars come in different sizes and weights, with some designed for Olympic weightlifting and others for general fitness use. They are made of steel and have knurled handles to provide a better grip.
