Trapbar
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Trap bar.
- A barstock welded into a hexagonal or diamond shape, sized to allow a person to stand in the middle
- Two (almost always) coaxial stub bars, welded to opposing positions on the outside of the perimeter of the hollow portion to hold weight plates. The stubs are used for loading the trapbar with plates.
- A set of handles pointing forward and back are welded inside the hollow portion. The handles are used to hold the trapbar while an exercise is performed. Note that these handles are aligned at a 90-degree angle to the plate-loading bars.
