Note on the Trap Bar and shrug bar
Where the Trap Bar® is referred to in this book, you may also
read “shrug bar.” e shrug bar came on the market after
was first published. e two bars are produced by differ-
ent manufacturers. Both are excellent training tools. e shrug
bar provides more knee room because it has a hexagonal shape as
against the rhombus shape of the Trap Bar. Please see page for
how to find more information on the shrug bar. You may, however,
require a custom-made bar with gripping sites placed wider apart
than the norm. Never bemoan the discipline that must accompany serious train-
ing. Never bemoan the discipline that must be applied to your
diet and other components of recovery. To have the opportunity
to apply all of this discipline is a great blessing—appreciate it and
make the absolute most of it because it will not last forever.
