how much does a shrug bar weigh?

not sure what its really called but i think its strictly for shrugs. its like a big circle bar that you step into with the weights on each side. i know its over 45.
 
I think they are ideal for deadlifts. However, I don't really do them anymore and I've never done em with the bar. So what the hell do I know?
 
Should be ok for deads. I used to use a 'trapizodal' bar for deads...you stood in the center of a square bar with neutral grips on the sides, and did deads like that.
Trap bar is fine, the weight stays in the same position, you just won't scrape your shins with it.

All olypmic size bars should be 45lbs. Usually EZ curl bars are 20-30 lbs because they're shorter.
