Trap barbell 5ft short
- Natural Positioning: The trap barbell offers a more natural position for deadlifts compared to conventional barbells.
- Center of Gravity: With a loaded barbell, the center of gravity is in front of the legs, which can be challenging for beginners as it pulls them forward.
- Parallel Load Distribution: In contrast, the trap barbell’s weight runs parallel to the legs, maintaining a straight center of gravity through the heel and midsole of the foot.
- Neutral Spine: This design helps both novice and experienced lifters maintain a neutral spine during deadlift movements.
Why the trap barbell 5ft short?
The name 5ft short comes from the fact that this bar is only 5 foot in length. We highly recommend this barbell to anyone hoping to be space efficient with their gym equipment. Commonly we sell this to home gyms or small studio gyms. Occasionally larger gyms will use these if they run classes with a large number of people involved.
Just like any barbell the handles come with a soft knurling for a better grip. The barbell sleeves have a loadable length of 26.5cm.
The distance between each handle is 56cm which is ideal for people who prefer deadlifting with their hands closer together rather than further apart.
An under over handle feature also gives you the option of lifting from the centre axis height of the weight plates like a conventional deadlift or turning the bar over and lifting from a slightly raised 10cm. This can be a great option for people with mobility issues.
