Our new trapbar in action

Much like my daughter, if a new gadget enters the gym, I compulsively play with it. My programming be damned :D

So here’s me culminating a quick deadlift session a second effort of 200 kg lift for a single rep.

The trapbar held up beautifully. The 30 mm grip was great. The knurl is a medium knurl. So no pinching or marks left.

It’s the best feeling when a gadget works as you built it to.

Notice how easy it was to flip that bar on its feet to remove the plates. That jack function does really make it easier to load and unload the bar.

It’s outcomes like this that make our entirely in-house effort to design, build and test our own equipment. And of course how it looks. Form and function can both win.
