With the re-introdction of the Gerard Trap Bar we have had several people ask about
purchasing a Trap Bar for standard plates.
We asked our manufacturer if this was a possibility and their
suggestion was that a Trap Bar for standard plates would not be a worthwhile investment for serious trainees.
Their reasoning was that structural integrity of 1" standard bar stock would not be able
to sustain the large amount of weight which could be utilized for many movements with the
Trap Bar and would likely bend with repeated use.
The Gerard Trap Bar for Olympic
plates, however, will stand up to hard use and serious workouts.
However our manufacturer can, in fact, make them. If you truly want a Trap Bar for 1" standard plates,
and you understand the disadvantages as well as
the additional costs, we will be happy to sell you one.
