SBAR6013 Hex Bar

Add variety to your training with the Ironpower SBAR6013 Hex Bar. The hexagonal frame distributes weight evenly around your body – not just in front like a straight bar. Features dual handle heights (standard and raised), 25mm medium-knurled grips, and a durable chrome-coated frame. At 55 lbs with a 500 lb static capacity, this trap bar reduces lumbar stress, making deadlifts safer, more efficient, and accessible for rehab or mobility-limited lifters.

Key Benefits & Features:

  • Hexagonal Frame – Equal Weight Distribution: Unlike a straight barbell that loads entirely in front of you, the hex bar surrounds your body. This centers the load over your mid-foot, reducing shear stress on the lower back and allowing for a more upright, efficient pulling position.

  • Dual Handle Heights (Standard & Raised): Two sets of handles create endless versatility.

    • Standard (low) handles: Full range of motion deadlifts, deficit pulls, and maximal muscle activation.

    • Raised (high) handles: Reduced range of motion, ideal for heavier loads, shrugs, farmer’s carries, or lifters with limited mobility.

  • 25mm Medium-Depth Knurled Handles: The perfect grip diameter for most hand sizes. Knurling is aggressive enough for heavy pulls but gentle enough for high-rep sets – no torn calluses.

  • Chrome-Coated Durable Frame: The entire frame is finished in chrome for exceptional corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and a professional, mirror-like appearance that looks great in any gym.

  • Spinal-Friendly Deadlift Solution: By shifting the load to your sides, the hex bar dramatically reduces tension on the lumbar spine. It is an excellent tool for:

    • Learning or improving deadlift mechanics

    • Rehabbing from back injuries

    • Lifters with limited range of motion (hip, ankle, or back tightness)

    • Athletes who want to deadlift heavy without spinal compression

  • Versatile Beyond Deadlifts: Use the SBAR6013 for shrugs, farmer’s walks, bent-over rows, lunges, overhead carries, and even split squats.

Product Description (Detailed):

The IronPower SBAR6013 Hex Bar is not a standard deadlift bar. It is a hexagonal trap bar that changes the physics of the pull.

Why hex?
A straight barbell loads the weight entirely in front of you. This creates a long lever arm that torques the lower back. The SBAR6013 surrounds your body, distributing the load evenly to both sides. The result? You can pull from a more upright position, with less shear force on the spine, while still achieving a powerful hip drive.

Dual handles. Double the training options.

  • Standard (low) handles: Use these for full-range deadlifts, deficit pulls, or when you want maximum hamstring and glute activation.

  • Raised (high) handles: Switch to these for heavier partial deadlifts, trap bar shrugs (massive traps), or loaded carries. The reduced range of motion allows you to overload the movement safely.

Designed for comfort and durability.
The 25mm handles are smaller than a standard barbell (28-29mm), which most lifters find more comfortable for pulling movements. Medium-depth knurling provides excellent grip without being abrasive – no chalk required for moderate loads. The entire frame is chrome-coated, which resists rust, wipes clean easily, and looks professional.

Who is this bar for?

  • Powerlifters & strength athletes: Use the hex bar as an accessory to build deadlift strength without accumulating spinal fatigue.

  • Rehab patients: If you have a herniated disc, sciatica, or general low back pain, the hex bar allows you to keep pulling heavy while protecting your spine.

  • Beginners: Learning to deadlift with a hex bar is safer and more intuitive than a straight bar.

  • Athletes: Farmer’s carries and shrugs build grip strength, traps, and conditioning.

Important Notes:

  • Compatible with all standard 2″ Olympic plates and collars.

  • Non-ribbed sleeves – plates slide on and off easily.

  • Store on floor or horizontal rack. Do not drop loaded bar from height.

  • 500 lb static capacity is suitable for most intermediate and many advanced lifters.
