Our Remarks

Ending with, the CAP Custom OB-89HB Combo Hex Bar comes with accu-coat finish. This special coating protects the Hex Bar from corrosion and rust for long-lasting use. With a maximum of 750 pounds of load capacity, it is suitable for deadlifts. Deadlifts are among the workouts involving some heavy-weight lifts. It works the posterior chain – a major muscle group includes core, glutes, hamstring and the rest. In that case, EZ curls are not so effective since curl bar exercises with it to do biceps, chest and shoulder exercises.

But, if something is required to work with standard plates, there is the TDS Shrug Hip Bar with 6” long sleeves for Olympic plates. The downside is it has a lower 400 pounds load capacity. Overall, this CAP Custom Olympic Hex/Weight Bar is ideal for the beginner wanting to try a hex bar.
