LIFT LIKE A KING WITH THE MIDAS OPEN TRAP BAR
The Open Trap bar is arguably one of the most underrated specialty bars out there. The open trap design allows for deadlifts, lunges, bent over rows, shrugs, and farmers carry, making it highly versatile. When it comes to getting the most bang for you buck with a single piece of equipment, the Midas open trap bar takes the crown.
The rotating gold titanium sleeves are as functional as they are eye-catching. The titanium sleeves are durable to the point of virtual indestructibility, which is why we offer a lifetime warranty on the Midas Open Trap Bar: we are confident it will last you a lifetime of intense training sessions. Titanium is also highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for those in humid climates.
A COMPACT WORKHORSE OF A BAR
With a total length of only 60" from end to end, it is one of the most space efficient trap bars out there, making it the go-to choice for folks with limited space. It also sports our favorite gloss black finish, which is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading, even with heavy use over time. Read: this bar will continue to look brand new even after years of heavy usage.
Whereas most heavy duty trap bars weigh-in at 60lbs+, the Midas Open Trap Bar weighs a calculated 47lbs, making it almost identical to the weight of a standard barbell.

High & Low Handle Options
The high handles allow for a more upright torso position during the lift, which can be beneficial for individuals with mobility restrictions or back issues. On the other hand, the low handles simulate a traditional barbell deadlift depth.
Rotating Gold Titanium Sleeves
Rotating sleeves allow the weights to rotate independently from the handles as they are lifted or lowered. This reduces the amount of torque and stress transferred to the lifter's wrists and joints, particularly during exercises like deadlifts, shrugs, or farmer's walks. The rotating sleeves also reduce friction between the weights and the barbell's sleeves, which helps minimize wear and tear on the bar.
Built In Deadlift Jack
The built-in deadlift jack allows you to add & remove weight from the bar quick and easy. The deadlift jack allows users to raise the barbell off the ground with minimal effort, making it easy for users of all fitness levels to change weight on the bar.
What is an Open Trap Bar?
No, it is not rackable, but you can get a barbell holder to attach to the rack for storage.
The sleeve length is 12" long with 2 inch diameter that can fit 5 45lb savage bumper plates per side.
The Midas Open Trap Bar offers several benefits over traditional straight bars:
Back Safety: The trap bar deadlift is often regarded as safer for the back compared to regular deadlifts, as it encourages a more upright posture, reducing spinal stress—ideal for those with back issues.
Rotating Sleeves: Unlike conventional bars, the Open Trap Bar has rotating sleeves, which promote smoother movement during exercises, reduce joint strain, and enhance the overall lifting experience.
Compact Design: The trap bar is more compact, making it easier to store and move. Although the sleeves are shorter than those on traditional bars, the plate block can still accommodate a significant amount of weight.
Versatility: Its open design allows for a wider variety of exercises than a traditional bar, including deadlifts, split squats, Romanian deadlifts, weighted carries, and lunges, all while maintaining stability and balance.
The Open Trap Bar, often referred to as a Hex Bar, can significantly improve lifting technique in several ways:
Rotating Sleeves: Unlike traditional trap bars, our model features rotating sleeves. This design allows for smoother movement during lifts, reducing strain on the joints and promoting better form.
Versatility: The open design of the bar allows for a wider range of exercises, including deadlifts, split squats, Romanian deadlifts, and lunges. This versatility helps in developing strength and technique across various movements.
Reduced Spinal Stress: The trap bar deadlift is known to reduce stress on the spine compared to conventional deadlifts. This can be particularly beneficial for those with back issues, allowing them to lift heavier weights while maintaining proper form.
Balanced Load Distribution: The design of the trap bar allows for a more balanced load distribution, which can help lifters maintain better posture and alignment during lifts.
