Try this bar if you're not already
The only issue I see with this, is that it looks like the plates would sit up against handles. The pictures have it away from the handles but I don't see anything actually stopping the plates from going up against them. It kind of looks like the same complaints as this cap hex bar you can see nothing stopping the plates from being right up on the handles. Figure a simple fix would be to just put a change plate or some kind of spacer there. If you limited on options for the price its not too bad of choice.
Found this on amazon for $69: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N4M53DC
Cons:
Pros:
I'd personally put this in the "good enough" category - especially for beginners who aren't close to hitting 500 on their deadlifts. At least on paper - could be very different in person, but probably can't go wrong for the price.
Thanks! Got in just in the nick of time. Only one left. https://www.amazon.com/Barbell-ol%C3%ADmpica-hexagonal-cobertura-levantamiento/dp/B07N4M53DC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=cap+trap+bar&qid=1596729506&sr=8-2
(There were 5 when I posted the question.)
I noticed a decent markdown on CAP products. I have never used these and they are pretty obviously cheap and there are a few reviews of the items coming broken, but with Amazon's return policy i am not to worried about a risk of needing to return them. For the price, do these seem cheap enough to be worth getting them as entry level versions of these products?
