The unique trapezoidal configuration moves the weights closer to the body, thereby improving balance and eliminating interference.
This design allows for greater rib cage expansion and muscular development, meaning that when you train with the Trap Bar you gain
strength and power in a more efficient, effective, and safe manner.
The "Neutral Grip" handles are also more
ergonomic than a traditional straight bar and the overall design eliminates the need to "drag" the weights along the body,
thus creating a safer and more effective training experience.
Since most gyms do not have dumbbells over 100 pounds,
the Gerard Trap Bar offers an excellent plate-loaded alternative to performing the shrugging exercise.
