  1. Why does the trap bar appear to be available only in olympic size, when
    almost every other bar has a scaled down standard alternative?

    Because you didn't look very hard; PDA and NYBarbell both sell standard
    parallel-grip deadlift bars. PDA in particular has a lot of variations, thick
    grip, multiple grips!, standard or Olympic, different sizes and finishes....

    Al Gerard specifically is just a guy, maybe doesn't have enough tooling to do a
    bunch of different models.
