Trap Bar Training Q & A

Question: How can I be sure my barbell plates will fit on the Gerard Trap Bar?

Answer:

We have the bar ends milled down to 1.95" and they are chamfered.

This means that regardless of your barbell plates' maker, as long as they're Olympic plates, they will fit on the Gerard Trap Bar.
