Trap Bar

[bhank]

After review the Rogue Bar was too long and the grips were too large and with shipping it was like 500 bucks. I decided just to pick up a cheap cap barbell trap bar for 85 bucks including shipping if I hate it or it breaks I can upgrade. It is only 4.5 feet long not 7.5 so way smaller than the Rogue. Also my buddy who did 550lbs for 10 reps was using a cap bar so should work just fine.

It won’t break, you can’t lift enough weight to put it under any stress.

It’s a trap

I didn't realize the Rogue bar was 7.5 feet long until someone mentioned that in other thread also it has unusual large hand grips looked cumbersome in video. I wanted something that would take less footprint. The bars I have seen people using are all like 4.5 feet long which the cap is also for fuck sake Rogue wanted to charge me 75 dollars shipping on a 375 dollar bar plus tax. Cap bar was 79 bucks on amazon and shipped free 85 bucks total with tax @score

Not Coop he is hitting 500 for a single on the trap bar but yes a strict curler as they prefer not using the over under grip on a regular deadlift hence the trap deads

#500 TB usually equals out to around #450 conventional. Usually about a 10%ish drop between the two give or take.

I got one of each kicking around in here (raised and not raised handles)..

That is an impressive home gym. My space is smaller but I am starting to trickle equipment out into other areas

Pretty much at its space-limit now. I have enough floor space where two of us can deadlift at the same time.
If my wife would only lift the same weight as me we wouldnt need that extra floor-space. (Kidding of course, the space is needed anyways to get around in there).
Its a double-garage, and I always had my band-room on the other side where we rehearsed. But we shut that down a couple years ago when my brother-inlaw died.
We had the band for 20+ years together...

I would estimate a 15-20% drop if you use high handles.

I love Rogue equipment, but don't see the point on spending for a trap bar.  I have a 75lb one I got for 75 bucks that's an absolute tank.

The CAP one hankins got will be just fine.

I heard you're looking for a trap bar Hanky!

Drop? Or did  you mean "gain"? People can pull more w/ raised handles... Higher starting position like a rack-pull...

Good sir, please read the quoted part of my post.

We are talking about a drop in conventional vs trap.

Good thinking.

Yeah, I can see it being 15-20% on the High handles, most of my data and actual deadlifting is on the old single gripped "Gerard" style.
