Eleiko Oppen trap bar. Worth the extra expense, rackable, many more exercises, built in stand, you can use as a safety squat bar as the huge front tube is comfortable on the shoulders.
@@crashkg great bar but not something I'd recommend to everyone especially at over 3x the price (vs this clearly original Titan bar) and a lot of other companies having open trap bars. But can't argue that quality! Unless you're Kabuki perhaps haha
I have a regular chrome trap bar. After second herniated disc 8 years ago, doctor told me "well, you will have to learn to live with back pain from now on", which I did for many years, then I started mildly working out because yeah, I was waking up every day and had to leave the bed after 4 hours of sleeping because of pain. I started doing dumbbell deadlifts, then I found out about this miracle traap bar, first no weight, 2 years later 150 kg ten reps, and less pain can sleep a solid 7hrs straight with very mild pain. I even started doing regular deadlifts but I cut them at 110 for 10 reps, and sumo deadlifts I go 130 for 10 reps. All because of this bar.
I have the Vulcan open trap bar, I wish I would've waited on Bells of Steel 4.0 or the inevitable Titan knockoff, because it was pricey but oh well lol
I have the open trap bar by Wright Equipment. It's a really great bar but its also my first gym purchase so...the sentimental value is through the roof!
I’m still using the mega cap 75 lb trap bar but I can’t use it on my platform it’s not wide enough to keep the plates off my wooden center. Might be in the market for a upgrade
I'm guessing this isn't about the new industrial line. It's a fine bar just has short handles. Could wait to see what Rep drops soon as well but Titan's is solid.
@@GlucksGym if you had to choose between the cheaper bells of steel open bar or the Cap combo grip cheap version which would you choose. I dont plan on lifting heavy. Thanks Gluck!
Hard to beat it for the value, honestly. Not a fan of the knurling on the handles, especially the lack of markings. Anyone find a good DIY solution for grip consistency? I feel unbalanced every time I pick it up.
Had the CAP “Mega” hex bar and hated it. Bought it because at the time it seemed heavier/beefier than those budget options, and it was, but in reality it just made it incredibly difficult to move, load, get out of my bar holder, etc. would much rather have one like this that I could rack.
@@mariolp2999 I mean my wife couldn’t even lift the thing out of the vertical bar storage. It was definitely built to withstand a bomb but it just felt overly heavy to the point that it was constantly annoying IMO. Being rack-able would have negated some of that. Knurling on mine was pretty bad too, a few bare spots in the coating and knurling, and some sharp burrs on the edges. Just really poor consistency.
I haven't tried it sorry. By looking at it I feel like it's too similar to a lot of other budget bars like that so I never gave it a chance. I could be wrong though as I haven't been let down by them yet.
@@GlucksGym Thanks for the reply. I gotta say, your channel is awesome and my wife and I have been binging your videos to help us get going on this. Very informative and very easy to watch and I find it extremely rare if anyone in TH-cam replies to comments and it's a super unique and valuable thing you do. It's easy to see you're very dedicated and sincerely into this. Thanks again!
Yeah I'll review version 4.0 when it's out. I've already spoken with them a bit. I thought about doing 3.0 but I don't want to recommend it to people and then turn around and say hey I knew this was coming out...
Yeah it’s weird their earlier version had the longer sleeves but the 3.0s were shorter. The longer ones are coming back by customer demand. Especially since the rise of deep dish plates and bumpers are really popular now. When I had deep dish I could only get 4 plates on each side
Love all your videos but that aside, I think you could stop slacking and do at least 2 videos a week 😆, also how a bout a hypothetical limited space home gym recommendations with varying budgets... also big love from the UK 🇬🇧 keep up the good work 👏
I have a limited space one but haven't done it yet. It'll probably be awhile. I'd like to do two but it would have to be a full time thing and I'd need to be larger to accommodate the purchases haha.
A little bit Matt (he's in a shot or two in this video) is 6'1" and 250 and he's had this bar longer than me. He says it's tight but doesn't mind but it is a common complaint.
@@GlucksGym hmm ...thanks, it's a tough decision between this and one of the Rouges. I don't want to pay 200+ more for the extra width but I sure would pay an extra $100...REPS bar has a low weight limit(500LBS) and the other trap bars seem to have short sleeves.
@@GlucksGym not sure if Rogue copied them, but Rogue build is way better when I compare my trap vs my friends Titan trap. His welds are terrible and that damn sticker 🤷🏾♂️. I would have gotten Kubuki, but they are on some hard stuff with that price.
@@GlucksGym Yeah. I would love an open trap bar like the Kabuki but can't justify the price for something I feel will get fairly minimal use. Keep up the great reviews!
I'd wait until Bells of Steel releases their version 4.0 if you can. I'll do a review on it because if it's an improved 3.0 it might win the budget slot

Do you own a trap bar? Which one it and how is it?
i don’t ❤️
Kabuki - it’s a lot more expensive but you can do carries and lunges and whatnot and the build quality is sick.
@@Scottsdale_GarageGymmuuuuch more expensive and not the only company who makes an open trap bar but that thing is very high quality

You got me at the “centered sticker”… love the non stop puns. Tough to keep em coming but please do try. 👍
Woah puns are a bit advanced for me, we can then innuendos around here 😂. We'll do our best! Thanks for watching
I have the Titan bar, I love it for what it is.
I love that quote because it's honest and accurate
Man this channel is one of the best, I’m ordering the titan trap bar today
Awww thanks
Congrats on 5k subscribers dude!
Thank you!!!

Don't get me started with sentimental value... my kids are going to inherent 500 things because of it
Nice video, very informative plus funny too
Thank you! That's how I try to make all of them
@@GlucksGym yes very nice!
Enjoyed the video. I have a zinc Power System trap bar. It's a tank, but does have rather short sleeves.
That's one of them ones that look a lot like others but honestly I haven't tried that specific one
It's almost like you watch my internet history. I've been looking into getting one of these bad boys.
I do. Quite interestng places you go
Can you do a review on MAG grips, please?! I’ve been debating on getting one for awhile. Anyway, Solid review bro! Keep up the good work!
Not sure if I can get my hands on them very quickly. I'm not those big guys with all their free stuff
I’m still using the mega cap 75 lb trap bar but I can’t use it on my platform it’s not wide enough to keep the plates off my wooden center. Might be in the market for a upgrade
Have a CAP Mega Hex Bar - Bought new off Amazon about 6 years ago for $100. Thing is a tank! Repeatedly loading 600lbs+ and still working great
A bit more now but for the price it's a great value!
HAHAHA oh my gosh you were not kidding 😂😂😂 doggie even for a medal! I ended up getting the cheap CAP bar on amazon. It’s just okay...
It's definitely OK but hope much can your expect for the price? These cost a ton to ship. I told you that was the intro Hahah
@@GlucksGym yeah anything heavy the price jacks up. And dude it was great!!
And the size,the bigger bars add about $100 in shipping
@@GlucksGym good point!
Grocery bags,😂😂😂That’s so true when u r the one doing all the shopping all the time !😂😂😂
Have and use the 1st version Titan released. It's "barely" rackable. Tough to beat for the $$$ though.
Hey Gluck have you used this for strap pulls inside your rack?
also idk when u hit 5k but u hit 5k!!! dont forget ya boy! lmk when you move to los angeles and get your custom glucks gym maserati and ferrari
I didn't think I hit 5k haha. Apparently today?
@@GlucksGym it says for me u did!
Yeah TH-cam does but my app says I'm 40 short Hahah
Thinking of going with bells of steel olympic open trap bar. Hopefully it will be decent and not a cheap thing that wont last?
I'm guessing this isn't about the new industrial line. It's a fine bar just has short handles. Could wait to see what Rep drops soon as well but Titan's is solid.
@@GlucksGym if you had to choose between the cheaper bells of steel open bar or the Cap combo grip cheap version which would you choose. I dont plan on lifting heavy. Thanks Gluck!

I don't always agree with Titan but this is so hard to argue with at the price especially when you see how much it costs to ship the nicer ones.

@@airgordo4 Well it's not perfect, but for the price (130.00), you can't ask for much..
Where do you live? I'd love a CAP mega and happily trade the Titan V2 for one.
My wife actually does love the trap bar
Is she powering up to Wynie level?
She really hasn’t got back into routine since we moved but she said no matter what you do do not sell the trap bar
So I sold it and bought kabuki
Hahaha what a wife
@@carps_gym bad boy!
Have you tried Fringe Sport's Hex Trap Bar? Thinking of going with theirs because it's $350 and "free shipping"

Can't argue with that choice

For the price it's a good deal!
Does the 22" handle width feel tight? I'm 6'1" 235....

@@1882dmac that was a joke, Titan clearly stole it
I considered this but hate how close the handles are...

@@willpate3457 I think most people would agree. Great bar, very pricey
Don't rack it on the hooks, rack it on the squat safety bars then it could be pressed...
Is it solid or hollow?
5k up in here
That's what TH-cam is saying but my app says I'm short by like 40
Say yes. Nd I’ll get it rn 😤
but mark rippetoe says theyre stupid
Mark says a lot of things
FIRST!! bet you thought i wouldnt comment today
It's been so long I forgot you were a sub
I want a good solid open trap bar. Can u recommend a good one ?
I'd wait until Bells of Steel releases their version 4.0 if you can. I'll do a review on it because if it's an improved 3.0 it might win the budget slot
That sticker 🤣
They tried.... Maybe?
I got an arrow!!!
Those are very rare. What an animal
The REAL CON about this bar is the spacing from the center.. it sucks.. it's too narrow.. if only it was as wide as the Rogue bar width...
The titan trap bar🤦🏽♂️. Haven’t used it yet
For the price it's solid, maybe that's Titan's slogan idk. The shipping on the quality ones is insane but understandable given their size.
was Matt added for Manly clout?
He was mostly added to show how someone who's 250lbs+ and over 6' fits. Unfortunately the videos are all already too manly
@@GlucksGym true, in this one your trap bar farmer's walk just about sent me over the edge....it made be feel little a 98lbs beta male.
