  • Fringe Sport

    A 19 lb hard-chrome EZ bar rated to 330 lb — the standard answer to curls hurting your wrists.

    A 25 lb curl bar with 360-degree rotating handles — the grip changes with your wrist instead of fighting it.

    The open trap bar with the handles welded on — pick 28 mm or a 28/38 mm hybrid once, and pick a sleeve length while you are at it.

  • REP Fitness

    REP Fitness Open Trap Bar

    An open-backed trap bar with four interchangeable handle sets — the trap bar you can walk into, and the one you can re-spec later.

  • Rogue Fitness

    Rogue C-70S Bar

  • Titan Fitness
