Bulldog Gear Commercial Open Hex Bar | 700kg Capacity

Why Choose an Open Hex Trap Bar?

The Bulldog Gear Open Hex Trap Bar combines the proven benefits of a traditional trap bar with an innovative open-frame design, creating a more versatile and athlete-friendly strength training tool.

The neutral grip places your hands in a more natural position than a conventional straight barbell, helping to reduce stress on the wrists, elbows and shoulders while allowing many athletes to lift with greater confidence and comfort. This position also encourages a more upright torso during deadlifts, reducing shear forces on the lower back while promoting greater leg drive.

Many strength coaches favour trap bar deadlifts because they more closely replicate how objects are lifted in everyday life. With the load positioned around the body rather than in front of it, athletes can generate power more efficiently while maintaining improved posture throughout the lift.

Whether you're a beginner learning proper lifting mechanics or an experienced athlete chasing new personal bests, the Open Hex Trap Bar offers a safer, more versatile way to build strength, power and athletic performance.

Commercial Open Hex Trap Bar Features

Designed for commercial gyms, strength & conditioning facilities and serious home gyms, the Bulldog Gear Open Hex Trap Bar is engineered to perform under heavy daily use.

Open Frame Design

Unlike traditional closed trap bars, the open-frame design removes the rear cross member, allowing unrestricted movement during exercises such as:

• Walking Lunges
• Farmers Carries
• Loaded Carries
• Split Squats
• Marches
• Dynamic Athletic Drills

This increased freedom of movement makes the Open Hex Trap Bar an exceptionally versatile piece of strength equipment for both conventional lifting and functional training.

Integrated Deadlift Jacks

Built-in deadlift jacks make loading and unloading Olympic weight plates fast and effortless. Simply tip the bar onto the integrated loading feet to raise the sleeves off the floor, eliminating the need to wrestle heavy plates into position between sets.

Dual Knurled Handle Diameters

The bar features two fully knurled handle options, each measuring 135mm in length:

• 30mm Diameter Handles – Deliver a familiar Olympic barbell feel for heavy pulling movements and maximum lifting performance.
• 50mm Diameter Handles – Challenge grip strength, forearm development and overall muscle recruitment by increasing the demand placed on your hands throughout each lift.

A popular training method is to begin a set using the thicker 50mm handles before switching to the standard 30mm grips once grip fatigue sets in, allowing you to increase total training volume while simultaneously developing stronger hands and forearms.
