Description
Hex Bar Premium Strength Training Bar
The Samson Hex Bar is engineered for athletes who demand the best from their training equipment. This uniquely shaped barbell, also known as a trap bar, allows you to stand inside the bar during lifts. That design keeps the weight centered and reduces stress on your lower back while enabling you to perform deadlifts, shrugs and farmer’s walks with excellent form. Crafted from high grade steel and finished with a durable coating, the Samson Hex Bar is made to last through the toughest workouts.
Product Overview
It measures generous inches between the handles and features knurled grips for a secure hold. The dual handles give you the option of a neutral or raised grip, letting you tailor your workout to your goals. Because the load is directly in line with your center of mass, you can focus on generating power without overworking your spine. That makes it ideal for strength athletes, powerlifters and people rehabbing injuries.
Versatility and Training Options
Training with this equipment isn’t just about deadlifts. It opens up a variety of movements that challenge your entire body. Use it for heavy farmer’s carries to build grip and core strength. Try loaded jumps or weighted lunges to develop explosive power. The bar is versatile enough to be the centerpiece of your conditioning routines. It also pairs well with our Samson bumper plates and platforms to create a complete lifting station.
Durability and Build Quality
Durability is a hallmark of every Samson product. Its welded steel frame withstands years of heavy use in both home and commercial gyms. The powder coated finish resists scratching and corrosion, while the sleeve collars accommodate standard Olympic plates. When you invest in this bar, you are investing in a piece of equipment you can rely on for decades.

Benefits and Ergonomics
Whether you’re a competitive lifter or just looking to improve your overall strength, this bar belongs in your arsenal. Its ergonomic design reduces injury risk and promotes proper lifting mechanics. The versatility means it fits into almost any training program, from CrossFit to powerlifting to general fitness. Add it to your gym and experience the difference in your deadlifts, jumps and carries.
Key Features
Each handle is knurled to a medium texture for a balanced grip, with a comfortable diameter that suits most hand sizes. The bar weighs about 45 lbs and has a maximum load capacity of 500 lbs. Its hexagonal design ensures balanced weight distribution, which is especially beneficial for beginners learning proper lifting technique.
Choosing the Right Bar
When comparing hex bars, pay attention to handle spacing, sleeve length and overall weight. A bar with longer sleeves allows you to load more plates, while narrower handle spacing may be more comfortable for smaller lifters. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of athletes thanks to its generous handle width and standard sleeve length.
Training Progress and Plateaus
Incorporating this tool into your training can help break through plateaus. Because the lift is more quad dominant, it may help build leg strength that translates to conventional deadlifts. Athletes find that jumps using this bar improve power output due to the safe positioning. And for those concerned with joint health, the neutral grip reduces stress on wrists and elbows compared to straight bars.
Complete Training Setup
For a complete training setup, consider pairing it with high quality weight plates. Bumper plates protect your flooring when dropping weights and allow for safer Olympic style movements. A sturdy lifting platform will further protect your floor and provide a solid base. Check out other accessories like chalk, straps and belts to enhance your lifting experience.
Maintenance and Usage Tips
Maintenance is straightforward: simply wipe down the bar after each session to remove sweat and chalk. Store it on a rack or hang it vertically using our bar storage solutions to keep it in pristine condition. Because it is so robust, it requires minimal upkeep, letting you focus on what matters: your training.
