I never realised it was that heavy. I hardly use it though. I rest it in the safety catches on my bench and use it for dipping.

My Troy bar weighs in at 50lbs. There`s no set weight for the trap bar. It depends on the manufacturer. Also it depends if it has one pair or two pair of handles. Also, some come in at 7ft long.

All together it weighs in at 80lbs/36kg.

Dont do deadlifts with it?

use a standard 45 olympic straight bar...

Any recommendations for the best style of Hex Bar for deadlifts?

I saw this one along with a hex bar sold on the same site.

From my experiance, it will alter your weight a lot for deadlifts. One time when we had to maxout I really didn't deadlift a lot, but my max out was 3 plates on the hex bar, and I know damn well I could never deadlift 3 plates on a regular olympic bar

It is not the same exercise, if anything it is more similar to squats.

yeah they tried to teach us deadlifts were done like that in highschool...they are not.

As for shrugs, if you are to do them, do them with a straight bar...they will help you more in regards to actual deadlifting.

Oh, I just saw some people doing it and it appeared to me that you'd have a better center of gravity and your shins wouldn't bleed.

Does it just alter the lift too much to be efficient?

And if not deadlifts, what are hex bars good for? Shrugs?
