Bodytone Chrome Hex Trap Bar 120 cm - 50 mm Sleeves

The Bodytone chromed hexagonal Olympic bar — or trap bar — is a 120 cm professional bar with 50 mm sleeves that puts the lifter inside the load: a safer, more natural deadlift geometry for gyms and performance centres.

Why deadlift inside the bar

With a straight bar, the load sits in front of the body, creating shear stress on the lumbar spine. The hexagonal frame centres the user in the load with a neutral grip at the sides, so the pull tracks through the body’s natural line. In practice that means less lower-back strain, an easier movement to teach beginners, and a safer platform for heavy force work — which is why trap bar deadlifts are a staple of athletic preparation.

Specifications

Who is it for?

Gyms, cross-training boxes and physical preparation centres wanting a safer deadlift option — for teaching the hinge pattern to beginners, for heavy force work with athletes, and for members with lumbar sensitivity. It also covers shrugs and loaded carries with the same neutral grip.

Getting the most from your bar fleet

Facilities that manage bars as a fleet get the longest life from them: number each bar, rotate the most-used units between racks, and schedule a monthly check of knurling, sleeve rotation and shaft straightness. Dedicated bar storage — vertical holders or wall-mounted horizontal racks — keeps shafts off the floor and out of doorways, and stops bars being stored loaded, the quiet killer of straightness. Pairing each bar type with the right zone (technique bars in coaching areas, heavy bars on platforms) also spreads wear evenly across the fleet.

Frequently asked questions

Is the trap bar deadlift easier than a straight-bar deadlift?

It is easier to learn and generally kinder to the lower back, because the load is centred and the grip is neutral. Peak loads are often higher than on a straight bar, making it a genuine strength tool rather than a regression.

Which plates fit the bar?

All Olympic plates with a 50 mm collar opening, including bumpers. Combine with plates and collars from our Olympic bars range.

What else can be trained with it?

Shrugs, farmer-style carries and jump variations — the neutral side handles make it one of the most versatile speciality bars in a strength zone.
