Great bar for the price! For me it works great and I didn't feel that paying a premium for some of the other brand names was worth it.

Only regret not getting it sooner at the lower price. Even now, its worth every penny. Knurling is super aggressive. It's not a true counter balance trap bar, as it holds itself up through the use of friction of the plates against the thick rubber stoppers at the end if the sleeves, but I didnt think I would appreciate the bar not tipping over as much as I do. Its a solid trap bar. Believe the hype.

Awesome bar. I previously had the Titan trap bar and the REP open trap bar and much prefer this one. Comes in cheaper than REP, and when you add a code it becomes a no brainer in my opinion. Assembly is also laughably simple. No complaints about anything with this bar so far, I love it.

Fantastic trap bar for the price!! The knurling is aggressive and the handle options will challenge your grip. Being an open trap bar, you can also perform way more movements than just a deadlift. I’ve used this for rows, camber squats, lunges, and much more. Giant also has an option for shorter sleeves if space is an issue.

Great open trap bar. Like everyone else says, the knurling is aggressive. Mine is also pretty balanced

I got the 10” sleeve version very recently. I haven’t really used this piece yet, but I wanted an open trap bar. Was planning on the Rep one like everyone else, but the short sleeve option on this made me pull the trigger. I have to store it in a more difficult to access spot behind my rack where the ceiling drops extra low, so getting it out would be difficult, but this 45 lb 10” sleeve hex bar is pretty easy. Looks great, kneeling feel great. The built in deadlift jack is really nice. Seems to be balanced pretty well but I’m not 100% for sure because I think my unlevel floors make it tip forward

Couldn't ask for more at this price point. Open with built in stands. Love the option for smaller sleeves to be more maneuverable in a home gym. Only complaint really is the knurling is a bit too aggressive for my liking. I strap up for heavier deadlifts so I would have preferred a bit less aggressive IMO.

I’ve had this bar for two years, and it’s been an absolute workhorse. I’ve seen some reviews claim it’s unbalanced, but I’ve personally loaded it with 500+ lbs without any issues. The knurling on the handles is right on the edge of aggressive, perfect for deadlifts.
