Body-Solid OTB100 Olympic Open Trap Bar | Hex Bar for Deadlifts & Shrugs For Sale

The Body-Solid Tools OTB100 Olympic Open Trap Bar is a heavy-duty hex bar designed for trap bar deadlifts, shrugs, lunges, single-leg squats, farmer’s carries, and total-body strength training. Its open walkthrough design provides easier entry and movement than a traditional closed hex bar, while 16.25-inch loadable sleeves accommodate standard 2-inch Olympic weight plates.

Built for demanding residential and commercial training environments, the OTB100 combines dual high and low ergonomic handles, medium knurling, a built-in bar jack, and a verified 1,000 lb. weight capacity. The open-frame configuration expands exercise versatility, while the integrated jack raises the sleeves from the floor to make loading and unloading Olympic plates significantly easier.

• Open Trap Bar Design: Wide walkthrough configuration provides convenient entry and exit while supporting a broader range of strength exercises.
• 1,000 lb. Weight Capacity: Heavy-duty construction supports demanding strength training and progressive loading.
• Dual High & Low Handles: Two handle positions allow lifters to select a starting height that better suits the exercise, mobility, and training objective.
• Ergonomic Handles: Handle positioning is designed to support balanced, controlled lifting during deadlifts, shrugs, carries, and other movements.
• Medium Knurling: Knurled gripping surfaces improve hand security during heavy lifts and loaded carries.
• 32mm Handle Diameter: Substantial handle diameter provides a secure gripping surface for strength-focused workouts.

• Olympic Plate Compatibility: Designed for use with standard 2-inch diameter Olympic weight plates.
• Multi-Exercise Versatility: Suitable for deadlifts, shrugs, lunges, single-leg squats, farmer’s carries, and additional strength movements.
• Open Walkthrough Access: The open side eliminates the need to step over a closed trap-bar frame when entering or exiting the lifting position.
• Residential & Commercial Application: Designed for strength training in home gyms and fitness facilities.

Open Walkthrough Frame: Unlike a conventional closed hex bar, the OTB100 uses an open design that allows the lifter to walk directly into position. This makes setup more convenient and expands the bar’s usefulness for lunges, carries, and other exercises that involve movement.

Dual High & Low Handle Positions: The OTB100 provides both high and low ergonomic gripping positions. The high handles can reduce the required starting range of motion, while the low handles allow lifters to train from a deeper starting position when appropriate for their mobility and programming.

Built-In Bar Jack: Loading a heavily weighted trap bar can be cumbersome when the plates rest directly on the floor. The integrated bar jack raises the sleeves, creating clearance underneath the plates and simplifying weight changes between sets.

Secure Medium-Knurled Grip: The dual handles feature medium knurling to improve grip security without requiring the lifter to rely on a smooth handle surface. This is especially beneficial during heavy deadlifts, shrugs, and farmer’s carries where grip stability matters.

High-Capacity Olympic Loading: With 16.25-inch sleeves for 2-inch Olympic plates and a verified 1,000 lb. weight capacity, the OTB100 is equipped for progressive strength training ranging from general fitness to demanding heavy-load workouts.

• Trap Bar Deadlifts: Train the legs, hips, posterior chain, back, and grip with a centered loading position.
• Shrugs: Perform loaded shrug variations for upper trapezius and upper-back development.
• Farmer’s Carries: Use the open trap bar for loaded carries targeting grip, core stability, upper back, and total-body conditioning.
• Lunges: The open walkthrough design provides additional freedom for dynamic lower-body training.
• Single-Leg Squats: Incorporate unilateral lower-body exercises into strength and stability programming.
• Strength & Conditioning: Suitable for a variety of loaded movements used in athletic development and general strength programs.

The Body-Solid OTB100 is ideal for home gym owners, strength athletes, personal trainers, sports performance programs, and fitness facilities seeking a versatile alternative to a traditional straight bar or closed hex bar. Its dual handle positions make it useful for lifters with different mobility levels and training goals, while the open frame supports both stationary strength exercises and loaded movement drills.

It is especially well suited for users focused on trap bar deadlifts, lower-body strength, posterior-chain development, upper-trap training, grip strength, loaded carries, and functional strength programming. The 1,000 lb. capacity also provides substantial room for progressive loading as strength improves.
