trap/shrug bar

Doublebase · 03-10-2008, 05:07 PM

Anyone ever use one of these? Looks like it would be good for some heavy shrugs, deads and some other exercises. I found one on craigslist for 100$. Think it would be a nice addition to my home gym.

I've been considering one of these as well.
You can get 'em cheaper on ebay.

Buy it

It's a great bar for lifting heavy. It keeps the pressure off your lower back. I use the one at my gym weekly.

i say go for it. at a old gym i used to go to there was a freakishly large human being that swore by it. some thing about it being easier on the joints.

Wow. That is really cheap. Free shipping too. I still can't get over that price. Must be some pretty shitty steel.

That is what I have learned from my research. Easier on the lower back as well.

damn, I hope not. I just bought one...
but steel is steel... if somehow I manage to load it enough to break it (highly doubtful) I can always weld it.

description says they might be a little scuffed up, but that's fine by me, it's gonna get the hell beat out of it anyway.

WOW, I have had mine for a couple of years now. I bought it from New York Barbells. Great piece of equipment. When I use it, it is like doing deadlifts and squats in one exercise. Then you do shrugs with it! Killer!!

i can vouch for jesup gymp equipment, i bought a squat rack off of them and everything came as promised, i dont think they would sell you a bad piece of equipment!

I hope youre not buying it for the priority of shrugging.
