Trap Bar Training Q & A

Question: What is the diameter of the knurled handles on the Gerard Trap Bar?

Answer:

For the reinvention of the Gerard Trap Bar in 2007, we worked off Al Gerard's exact plans circa 1987 with his blessing. Al's original design features a 1" diameter knurled handle. Of the tens of thousands of Trap Bars in use, this size has proven to be optimum for many trainees.

However, if you would like a Trap Bar with thicker handles or any other custom variations, we can make that happen easily.

We can do handle diameters of 1", 1-3/8", 2", 2.5" and 3". Please keep in mind there will be an additional cost for custom handle sizes and as this is a custom order, the the turn arond time will take longer.

Please contact us with your preferences and we can crunch the numbers and get the ball rolling in order to accommodate your needs.
