The Bulldog Gear Home Gym Open Hex Bar | Compact Trap Bar delivers all the versatility of an open trap bar in a compact, space-saving design. Engineered for home gyms and garage training spaces, it allows you to perform heavy lower body lifts and athletic movements without the size and weight of a full commercial trap bar.
Featuring an open frame, integrated deadlift jacks and a balanced 24kg construction, this compact trap bar is ideal for lifters who want professional performance while making the most of limited training space.
Whether you're building strength, improving athletic performance or adding variety to your lower body training, the Bulldog Gear Home Gym Open Hex Bar is built to handle years of demanding workouts.
Why Choose an Open Hex Trap Bar?
Unlike a traditional straight barbell, the Open Hex Trap Bar places you inside the load, encouraging a more natural lifting position. The neutral grip helps many athletes reduce stress on the lower back while maintaining an upright torso during deadlifts and carries.
The open-frame design also removes the restrictions of a traditional closed trap bar, allowing you to perform a much wider variety of exercises including walking lunges, split squats and loaded carries.
Compact enough for home gyms yet robust enough for serious strength training, it's the perfect all-round specialty bar.
Compact Design for Home Gyms
Measuring just 1400mm in length, the Bulldog Gear Home Gym Open Hex Bar occupies significantly less space than many commercial trap bars, making it ideal for garage gyms, PT studios and smaller training environments.
Its shorter overall length also makes storage easier while maintaining excellent balance and stability throughout every lift.
Integrated Deadlift Jacks
Built-in loading jacks allow the bar to be tilted onto its feet, making weight plate changes quick, simple and effortless without lifting the entire bar from the floor.
It's a feature usually found on premium commercial trap bars and makes training more efficient between sets.
Built for Strength
Manufactured from heavy-duty steel with a durable black powder-coated finish, the Home Gym Open Hex Bar is designed to withstand years of heavy lifting.
The 28mm knurled handles provide a secure grip during heavy pulls and carries, while the 320kg maximum load capacity gives plenty of room to progress as your strength improves.
Compatible with all standard 50mm Olympic weight plates and collars.
