Product Description

The Trap Bar gives you more carry over to sports performance

The first thing you’ll notice about the trap bar is its geometry. The most significant practical difference this translates into is where your body will bear the load and therefore, the kinds of exercises it best serves. It will also alter some of the older ones – for the better.

The bar itself is a diamond shape, which means you stand inside it and grip the handles laterally. This provides a more natural, neutral hand position. It also effectively positions the load around you, making it ideal for shoulder shrugs.

The Trap Bar is also excellent for deadlifts. It makes it easier to teach the deadlift (especially with the two different handle heights) and allows your torso to remain more upright, which means there are less shearing forces exerted on the spine. It also targets the quadriceps more than the posterior chain, which means that the benefits are transferred more effectively into vertical leap training.

It also means you won’t end up peeling the skin off your shins like you’re deadlifting with a cheese grater.

1. Peace of Mind

With over 500,000 satisfied customers, Iron Edge is Australia's No.1 high performance strength training brand. We've been fitting out elite high performance gyms for the likes of Collingwood Football Club and the Australian Defence Forces for years. We know what you need and what you don't. Our products are constantly being tried, tested and improved to be the best they can be. And we stand behind them accordingly.

2. Product Range

Iron Edge has one of the biggest ranges of high performance training equipment available in Australia. From Nike Romaleos weightlifting shoes, through to kettlebells, Power Bands and weightlifting equipment. In all we stock 100’s of different products at our warehouse facility in Melbourne so you'll always be able to get what you want and, most importantly, when you need it. That's why Iron Edge is the choice of Australia's best athletes, coaches and gyms. And why anything else is just compromise.

3. Engineering

At Iron Edge we employ experienced and qualified engineers to design, test and then source the best manufacturers of all our equipment. Up until 2017 we manufactured in-house, but market pressures forced us to move manufacturing overseas. However we weren’t going to compromise on the quality and structural integrity of our products, so after rigorous research, we’ve been able to partner with some of the industry’s best and most experienced equipment manufacturers. In many ways they are more advanced and sophisticated than our in-house work shop, so you can be assured that the quality of all our products meet the same high standards and are worthy of the Iron Edge brand.

4. Expertise

When you promise 'serious training' you have to back it up. Fortunately we do, drawing on our extensive experience dealing with Australia's best coaches, athletes, sports scientists and exercise physiologists. It's enabled Iron Edge to be one of Australia's leading authorities in high performance strength training- and with an educational arm of the business comprised of over ten certified courses launching soon, we plan on increasing the industry standard across the board.

5. No 'BS' Guarantee

We don't just say our products are the best available. We back it up with an industry leading guarantee. That means if your Iron Edge equipment is faulty or fails to deliver on its promise we will replace it. Conditions do apply.

6. TradePass

TradePass is more than just a FREE discount pass for fitness industry professionals. It entitles holders to unique offers based on their industry role plus event invitations. It's available to selected gyms, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, exercise scientists, sporting organisations, osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, the ADF, police, fire fighters, ambulance and Crossfit affiliates.
