I mean, its a trap bar and it works. For the price, it can be worth it. It works as well as any generic and its open and stands! We have had about 300lbs on it just fine for many sets. If I were getting close to 400lbs I'd probably upgrade and I wouldn't trust this bar but for light work, its really hard to beat the price. Though be prepared, its huge and can be harder to store than a normal barbell.

It's far from being a top of the line barbell. But you have to take in to consideration the price. With sales being as low as $50. It gets the job done on a budget.

I've seen this bar snap in half. Granted it was with a 900+ pound deadlift but still....

Just so so piece of equipment. Works but I felt like it was not very strong. I also felt cramped when standing inside to lift

I got this for like $50 from wal-mart. It's been...fine? I mean, you get what you pay for but I haven't had significant issues with it. The only open trap bar I've used so if I get another one, I am sure my thoughts on this would probably change.

This bar is an absolute piece of garbage. Handles are slippery yet still cut your hands. Sleeves are loose and take extensive modification to make functional. Bar arrives bent and continues to bend if you load it with anything heavier than balsa wood change plates. Do not buy this. Don’t pick it up for free. Don’t say its name three times in the dark.
