Body-Solid Raised-Handle Hex Bar for Deadlifts and Shrugs:
The Body-Solid (OTB50RH) Olympic Hex Bar gives lifters a raised-handle starting position for deadlifts, shrugs, and other standing strength movements. Its enclosed frame places the load to either side of the body instead of in front, creating a centered pulling position. Elevated, knurled handles make it easier to reach the bar at the start of a lift and maintain a confident hold through the movement. This practical design suits strength programs that value controlled pulls and versatile lower-body training.
Elevated Knurled Handles and Centered Loading:
This raised-handle hex deadlift bar combines secure hand contact with a balanced frame that lets lifters stand between the loaded sleeves. Its welded collar mounts and loadable Olympic sleeves support progressive resistance as training needs change. Unlike a straight bar pulled in front of the shins, the centered layout positions weight alongside the lifter. That arrangement works particularly well for deadlift variations and shrugs where a stable starting position and consistent hand placement matter.
Versatile Strength Training for Shared Facilities:
This commercial trap bar also supports stiff-legged and Romanian deadlifts, along with squats and lunges when appropriate for the exercise setup. Its elevated handles are useful for lifters who prefer to begin a pull without reaching as far toward the floor. The bar fits home gyms, school weight rooms, studios, and commercial strength areas seeking more ways to train the legs, hips, and upper back alongside traditional barbell movements.
