Trap weight bar HMS Fitness GHX02B 1715 mm 450 kg Steel

The HMS Fitness GHX02B trap weight bar is a steel hex (trap) bar engineered for deadlifts, shrugs and other lower-body and posterior chain exercises. With an overall length of 1715 mm and a robust maximum load of 450 kg, the GHX02B offers a balance of capacity and compact dimensions. The bar itself weighs 28 kg and is finished to withstand regular gym use, making it suitable for home gyms, commercial facilities and strength training programs that require a heavy-duty trap bar for safe, neutral-grip lifting.

Advantages

The hexagonal shape positions the lifter inside the bar for a neutral grip and reduced spinal shear compared with conventional straight bars. Constructed from durable steel, the GHX02B supports high loads up to 450 kg while maintaining structural stability. Its 1715 mm length provides enough space for standard loading of weight plates while remaining compact enough for typical gym racks and floor spaces. At 28 kg, the bar adds useful training mass for progressive overload protocols.

Suitable for

• Deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts with a neutral grip
• Barbell shrugs and trap-focused movements
• Farmer-walk style carries and loaded carries with neutral handles
• Strength training in home gyms, commercial gyms and training studios
• Progressive overload and heavy compound lifting

Key specifications

How to use

Load weight plates evenly on both sides of the bar and secure them according to your gym’s practice. Step inside the hex frame so your torso is centered between the handles, adopt a neutral grip, brace the core, and lift with leg and hip extension while maintaining a neutral spine. Use controlled movement patterns for lowering and raising to reduce injury risk. For shrugs, stand inside or beside the bar as required by the variation and perform short-range elevation of the shoulders while keeping the grip neutral.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bar and sleeves for damage before each use and ensure plates are properly loaded and secured. Begin heavier sets with appropriate warm-up lifts and progress load incrementally. Use suitable lifting footwear and maintain correct posture to protect the lower back. Store the bar on a rack or floor stand to prevent deformation and to prolong service life.
