Olympic Trap/Hex bar

Olympic Hex Bar (Trap Bar) in Kenya

The Olympic hex bar, also called a trap bar, is a specialised barbell shaped like a hexagon so the lifter stands inside it. This neutral-grip position makes it one of the safest, most back-friendly ways to deadlift, and it is a favourite for building total-body strength in commercial gyms and home setups across Kenya.

Priced at KSh 22,000, it accepts standard 2-inch Olympic weight plates (sold separately) for heavy, progressive loading.

What you can train with a hex bar

• Trap-bar deadlifts with a safer, more upright torso position
• Shrugs for traps and upper-back thickness
• Farmer’s walks for grip, core and conditioning
• Jump shrugs and loaded carries for power development

Why lifters choose the hex bar

The neutral handles reduce strain on the lower back and let beginners and experienced lifters load heavy with confidence. Its hexagonal frame is rugged and simple, making it a low-maintenance staple for any strength floor.
