GOOD ONE!!!
The rules for a trap bar “fall outside” of the rules critera of a legal bar. The Trap Bar DL is a Special Equipment Lift and is defined in the rule book glossary as “This is a bar that contains a frame around the lifter, and has parallel handles located at the lifters sides for gripping”.
When I updated the Rulebook in 2009, I added this to the rule of the Trap Bar DL which is located in the rule – “the trap bar must not be of the type that contains elevated handles”. I did this because there are several commercially available trap bars that have elevated handles, and this definitely enhances the amount of weight that can be lifted and shouldn’t be allowed.
Other than these rules covering a trap bar, anything else is allowed. There is no mention of sleeve length, rotating sleeves, or width of handles. So your bar sounds like a legal trap bar to me! Al
