Sunny Health & Fitness Strength Training Olympic Hex Bar Barbell, High Load Capacity, Swivel Handles, Safety Clips, Knurled Handles for Deadlifts, Shoulder Presses, Shrugs, Back Rows, Weightlifting

No fuss, affordable, quality gym accessory from a brand that I trust (the squat rack in the picture is by the same maker, I’ve had it since the pandemic).The ability to rotate that handles cannot be understated as it allows for extended range of motion for exercises that require a different type of grip. As for the bar itself, it’s light enough that my 3 year-old daughter can lift it, but feels sturdy and well made.I loaded 260lbs (pictured) and have used it in said configuration for a few workouts without any downsides. I suppose that if you have thicker plates you could run into a space issue while racking and securing more plates, but it’s only rated for 400lbs. So know what you are purchasing.Bonus: it stores nicely in the squat rack by the same brand, keeping a tidy gym.Recommended!

Came quickly cen cal. The handles make it a ergonomic and comfortable tool, im impressed with the quality

I’ve owned this trap bar for 1.5 years. The chrome seem good - no cracking or chipping. It may be “hard chrome”, which is what you want in lifting bars. Build quality seems solid and I have no concerns about it’s welds. The dimensions are great. The handles are a comfortable width, height, and diameter for both me (6’, around 200lbs) and my wife (5’10, around 125lbs). No issues with the standing area being too small even with my “winter coat.” Really, it’s perfect in many ways and I do like it’s smaller width overall. Some trap bars are just crazy wide.I removed two stars because (1) the knurling is horrible and (2) the sleeves are short (9-3/8” loadable sleeve per side). So, there’s a trade-off for the shorter width that I like. And while the sleeves are probably adequate for most, even me if I used iron, but for those looking to lift BIG, you’ll probably need longer sleeves.1: The knurling was stamped to a pyramid but left sharp. It’s pretty darn aggressive to say the least. I took a file to it and it’s still sharp. I just wear gloves and that mitigates the issue. So, chalk it up as getting what you paid for but not a critical flaw.There was one serious issue here though: there was a super sharp piece of metal hanging off the edge of the knurling when we got it, it sliced a deep cut into my finger when I lifted it to just move it without any weight. I filed it off.2: The sleeves are a bit short. The maximum weight I can fit is 281.4 lbs of bumper plate (115 per side), or 411.4 lbs of urethane coated iron (180 per side). I would get a better bar (which have longer sleeves) and more bumper plates before I used iron plates. Comes down to using the right tool for the job. Even if it’s another set of plates to buy. My bar weighs 51.4 lbs.My legs are about average for a guy. Certainly not tree trunks like a power lifter. More of a runner’s tone. Though I do find that I’m moving up in weight and even though I expect to hit plateaus at times, I may eventually outgrow this bar and still not have built tree trunk legs (not that I want them).I didn’t know of brands like REP fitness and Rogue when I bought this bar, though had I, I certainly would have paid $264 for the REP bar. The knurling is awesome (they hone a smooth bowl at the top of each pyramid, so it grips but doesn’t cut). Also, I would not outgrow it. But of course it’s twice the price.So, if you’re looking for a budget bar, is this bar a good option? Yes, absolutely, with a couple caveats (knurling, sleeve length). If you’ve got the money to consider other options, buy once, cry once - with a reputable brand like REP or Rogue.I attached pictures of the bar loaded with bumper plates and also with urethane coated iron. You see that there isn’t quite enough space to fit the purple clamp, though there’s enough to make what I think is safe contact. …It’s a squat, not a kettlebell swing.All the best in your fit-life goals!

Well made and ergonomically synergistic. Comfortable to deadlift with. I dig it!Something they can work on, the clamps are complete garbage. Buy yourself a good set.Overall, I’m happy I purchased this.

Researched a long time comparing hex bars. There are some that are the same product rebranded as well as some appearing to be fully unique to the brand of the bar. I read too many negative reviews on a popular one and even passed on another at the last minute, before finally deciding on this Sunny one. I felt while some were 45 pounds, and others 52.. it made sense to want the heavier one as that indicates to me (at least upfront) that there is more steel in the product.I was worried about this bar having any combination of shipping damage, bad welds, bad finish, or being out of whack in terms of how symmetrical everything is welded up. I felt it was less likely with Sunny based off the reviews but still just paranoid about it because of how some other bars are. I was really surprised, that even it somehow literally shipped in just a covering of the thinnest clear plastic; no box, no padding or foam.. just the bar with essentially a bag over it.. it somehow was flawless. There was essentially no shipping damage. The welds are all about perfect, knurling has a couple little flat spots but they are well away from where you grip and are on both handles equally. This finish is as good as you could want and everything is perfectly true, as it's clearly carefully welded in some sort of jig.Overall extremely happy with the bar, maybe lucky with shipping.. but anyways it is what it is and glad I went with this over all of the other, possibly more popular bars on Amazon.

Works perfectly and it’s very well balanced. Doesn’t hurt my back and I can lift lots of weight without it being awkward.

This bar is the perfect size for me (female, 5’ 9”). Originally, I ordered a larger, heavier bar and it was too big. The swivel handles put my arms in the perfect position for a deadlift. In addition, the handles are very comfortable to hold.I used my 2” clamps to secure the weights. They held the weights snugly.The bar came more assembled than the instructions showed. All I had to do was attach the weight bars on each end.

I read all the reviews about bad packaging and was a tad worried about it, but I couldn't get a different bar anywhere during the Covid-19 pandemic so I took the chance. The packaging was top notch. You can see the bar laid across two pieces of wood. it was also wrapped in plastic which I removed for this photo. The bar is oiled from top to to bottom and there isn't a ding to be found on it.Only negative is the length of the loading pegs. You can see here I have 1 bumper plate and 2 45's and a collar on it. Even with all small plates you won't go above 495 with this bar and that may be without collars.But for most intermediates and people that just want to get stronger this is a damn good bar. Glad I bought it.
