We produce various models of hexagonal barbells, also known as Trap Bars or Quadra Bars:<\/p>\n
cod.\u00a09012\u00a0<\/strong>Olympic Hex Bar<\/a> The Low Hex Bar 9012\/3V represents a significant evolution in the design of hexagonal barbells, developed to meet specific technical requirements that have emerged in physical training. Its design was filed by us at the end of 2021, following studies by FAST (Functional Alpine Ski Training<\/em>), a training method dedicated to athletic preparation for Alpine skiing. The term 'functional' emphasises the effectiveness of global training, in which movements are not sectoralised, but motor skills are trained as a whole.<\/p>\n For this reason, exercises and equipment are designed to stimulate the neuromuscular, skeletal and joint systems, requiring good mobility and a solid movement culture for proper use.<\/p>\n Hex Bars are widely used in athletic training because, compared to traditional barbells, they offer ease of use (no supports or racks required), with significant advantages in terms of safety and convenience. The presence of the handles, the central load in relation to the body axis and greater freedom of movement contribute to easier exercise mechanics.<\/p>\n This is particularly beneficial for beginners, people with motor deficits or those undergoing post-traumatic rehabilitation, making it easier to perform squats and deadlifts.<\/p>\n With these assumptions in mind, the need arose to create a sui generis Quadra Bar that would allow maximum freedom of movement in all planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse), favouring deep lunges and squats, approaching the most common critical points (sticking points<\/em>). A modification was therefore devised in the arrangement of the discs, placing them horizontally, to obtain a bar with handles very close to the floor, hence the name Low Hex Bar. This solution makes loading and unloading weights extremely practical, which is particularly useful in 'pyramid' exercises.<\/p>\n The adoption of an open structure, with the hexagon losing one side and becoming a half-moon, completes the transformation of the Hex Bar into this new tool, which retains only the initial idea of the hexagonal bar. Evolution is also confirmed by the use of anatomical rubberized handles which, while on the one hand improve the control and directionality of the tool during highly dynamic multiplanar exercises, on the other hand, due to their 45\u00b0 position, make it more destabilising; a feature that implies continuous adaptations and a great proprioceptive effort.<\/p>\n Proprioceptive engagement is a key aspect of physical training, as it involves the neuromuscular system in the ability to perceive and control body position in space, improving balance, joint stability and motor coordination. High proprioceptive activation is essential to optimise movement control, both in static and dynamic, high-intensity exercises.<\/p>\n In sports practice, proprioceptive training with an appropriate overload is fundamental to maximising effectiveness. All too often we see unhelpful protocols in which the load is inadequate in relation to the power expressed in the target sport, reducing the transfer of neuromuscular adaptation to actual performance.<\/p>\n Well-calibrated proprioceptive training is crucial for preventing injuries and improving performance, especially in disciplines that require reactivity, dynamic stability and continuous adaptation to external stress, such as alpine skiing, basketball, football, and martial arts to name a few examples.<\/p>\n Tools such as the Low Hex Bar enhance this component, transforming each exercise not only into strength work, but into a powerful stimulus for the neuromuscular and articular system. Thanks to its configuration, the Low Hex Bar increases proprioceptive involvement, improving motor control capacity in conditions of controlled instability, a crucial aspect in optimising the transfer of trained skills to sports performance.<\/p>\n The 9012\/3V Low Hex Bar is made from 50 mm diameter tubing and is entirely finished in a durable dark grey micaceous paint. The disc holder sleeves have a diameter of 50 mm and a length of 300 mm, offering ample loading possibilities and the possibility of using any type of disc with a 50 mm bore. The horizontal arrangement of the discs does not require the use of Bumper Plates; it is also possible to use discs with a smaller diameter, such as Fractional Plates, or coated discs, such as PU Plates or Rubber Plates, with considerable cost savings.<\/p>\n The Low Hex Bar is also equipped with sturdy rubber feet for a secure, slightly cushioned and quiet footing.<\/p>\n The current model differs from the 2022 version (code 9012\/3v) by the chrome-plated disc holder sleeves, which allow integration with the Hamstring Bar 9012\/3B and the adoption of the 9016\/1 collars, indispensable in Jump Squats.<\/p>\n Combined with the Hamstring Bar 9012\/3B and the 9016\/1 collars, the Low Hex Bar transforms into a powerfully effective workstation designed to maximise physical training, improving stabilisation of the knee joint and strengthening of the posterior chain, as well as, of course, the anterior chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n see also:<\/p>\n Hamstring Bar 9012\/3B<\/a><\/p>\n collars 9016\/1<\/a><\/p>\n Hamstring Bar 9012\/3B<\/a><\/p>\n Bumper Plate<\/a><\/p>\n
