REP Fitness Open Trap Bar Review (2023) — Worth The Hype??

👇 Get the REP Fitness Open Trap Bar At the Best Price👇

Trap bars are an excellent tool for deadlifting, as the design makes the lift more natural by aligning the weight you're lifting to your center of gravity as opposed to it being in front of you with a barbell

Compared to your traditional hex trap bar, open trap bars — like the REP Fitness Open Trap Bar — take it up a notch by allowing you to incorporate additional exercises, like Bulgarian split squats. But this is also a rackable trap bar that can be used in tandem with your power rack or squat rack for back squats and bench presses.

The built-in jack makes loading your weight effortless, the weight capacity is perfect for those who want to set a world record, and the handles provide a sticky tack grip. If you're looking for a new specialty bar for your home gym, you might've found your match. Here's a breakdown of our detailed review:

Is the hole big enough in the handles to put a 1inch bolt through? Would be cool to attach to a cross member to do chinups .specially the rotating pair

I would like to get one but it's too large for my home gym. I need smaller sleeves 😉

Would love a direct comparison of this with the Rogue TB-2. The review you did on that one is fantastic.

Good callout on the price for this. It’s a lot in general but once compared to other open trap bars, it’s one of the cheaper ones like you said. It’s probably the best value one too because the ones that are cheaper aren’t as nice and the more expensive ones don’t offer as much.

Also, I store this vertically and there have been no issues on wear and tear and pressure.

I got this bar today and bought 2 17mm sockets/wrenches and none fit in TINY space they have can you tell me which one you used?

I read that racking it is tight and in your setup, that seems to be a legit claim. Looks like about a half inch clearance or less on the inside.
