Trap Bar Training Q & A

Question: Does the Gerard Trap Bar include weight collars?

Answer:

The Gerard Trap Bar does not come with included weight collars however, you will need a good set of collars when you train with one, especially if you train heavy and want to keep the plates secure during use. As a matter of principle, we do NOT recommend those flimsy spring-clip collars that are somewhat popular today. - Nobody who is serious about training would consider those for a second. We have done our research and found the best quality barbell collars available: Okie Collars, which incorporate a unique lever-locking system to buckle on the side on your barbell.
