Trap Bar Deadlift (www.trainatp.com)

[Rustybarbell]

Protect that beautiful platform - use bumper plates when doing these, or just do them on rubber floor. Your gym owner will love you for it.

would you recomend it insted of deadlift

[gatorgrl89]

My trap bar weighs 55lbs and it is easier to do than a traditional deadlift. It is actually more like a squat than a true deadlift though and much easier on the back...uses more legs and glutes than back. I can do 275 on the trap bar but only 235 on a traditional deadlift.

[gatorgrl89]

I've been told that this is not a true deadlift so to speak. I've done this variation and it is hard. I recently hurt my back doing traditional deadlift. I think this variation is easier on the back and spine.

@sexee509 bad technique.

[dragns]

Turn the bar over

[keithallenlaw]

@dragns ...and add some weight...and get a platform.
