PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

*NEW 9" SLEEVES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS OPEN HEX BAR MODELS*

The Northland Open Trap Hex Bar is the next great weapon to add to your weightlifting arsenal! The fourth iteration of our open hex design features a built-in jack, upgraded solid steel feet for stability, hex bolt removable handles, and the ability to be racked on most standard-size power racks. 

There are several trap bars like this on the market with varying features that make each unique. We designed ours with the features we felt were most important while keeping the cost down and believe it's the best value on the market!

The Short Open Hex features both a pair of 28mm and 38mm handles. 

The Regular Size Open Hex is now equipped with both handles pairs being 28mm.

Features:

Now available with 9" and 16" loadable sleeves.

Updated:

  • Short Sleeve Version (9")- Equipped with 28mm and 38mm knurled handles that are 25" on center allowing for more performance options.  
  • All barbells are now metallic black *images on the site as shown are matte black.

Regular Sleeve Version (16")- Equipped with dual 28mm knurled handles that are 25" on center with a center knurling marking. 

Packaging has been updated to protect the different pieces of the barbell during transit. 

The most common use for this barbell is for deadlifts, pressing actions, walking lunges, farmer walk carries, safety bar squats, and bent-over rows.  The truth is you can get creative and the possibilities are endless with the use of this barbell.  We hope you love it!

Additional Information:

This barbell is made for dropping at lower heights when performing deadlifts and shrugs. This bar is not made for dropping from overhead lifts or from a squat position.  

Tolerances can range +/- 3% of all specs. We do not recommend this barbell with use of competition bumper plates since the tolerances of competition plates (50.4mm) are very tight and could cause an issue. Regular iron plates and bumper plates will work perfectly.

Really digging the hex bar

I was worried this would end up a vanity purchase but so far I’ve been very impressed with the versatility. Gives me better range of motion on a number of exercises than the classic barbell does. I know purists might groan but it’s great for my home gym needs. Also the open side makes me feel safer for escape reasons and utility for exercises like farmer’s walks. It’s sturdy as hell though. I love that it has feet, no need to buy a rack for it I can stand it up somewhere out of the way.

Almost too good to be true!

Fantastic product with a price to value ration off the charts. Its utility, construction, and ease of assembly put this in a category all its own. Could not be happier, even the shipping was transparent, FREE, and swift. The one minor nitpick, which is my own fault, was buying the shorter sleeve version when all I have is thick bumper plates in my garage, so most I could fit on there was 315. No worries though, I contacted Giant and received immediate, personal, by-name attention and they allowed me to purchase the longer sleeves for an outstanding price (again with FREE shipping). Rep, Rogue, and all other manufacturers will be contending with Giant for any of my future gym purchases. Excellent experience.

Very attractive bar

The opposite of an eye-sore in my home gym - I didn't realize how it would be manufactured so it was a nice surprise to unpack it and see the black with sparkle!

The handle knurling is a bit too aggressive to my taste, but I will not critique the manufacture of the product due to my own preferences as the bar seems fantastic and great value.
