Northern Lights Open Trap Bar

Looks like another option in the open trap bar with integrated barbell jack category:



Thoughts? Concerns?

I emailed them about the only concern that I have, which is the handle spacing at 31.5". I'm hoping that dimension is to the inside of the frame.

I have it and really like it. There are two different ones (one around 60lbs and one around 100lbs). The 100lbs one has the two handle heights the 60lbs one does not.


The handles are cheap and not impressive (poor knurl, slop).
The sleeves are not great either (but functional). The plates will hit the bolt covers, which seems like poor planning and my bumpers are a very tight fit.

Surprisingly, the bar frame is comfortable on your back and can be used for goodmornings or as a caber bar.

So what do you like about it? I doubt many will buy just for goodmornings.

So everything about it sucks, but you really like it?
