Who here /trapbar deadlift/?
Way better than fucking regular deadlifts. Cant believe I fell for the rippetoe meme for so long lmfao
It's called a trap bar because it gives you a trap figure.

stop making the trap bar the new memelift.
it's a great accessory.
i mean, but if you actually want a bigger squat and a bigger deadlift, gotta do those movements.

that's the same as any lift. the question is why you want a bigger squat or deadlift? you compete?
trap bar deadlift is great because it works your quads like a squat and back like a deadlift.
where it falls short is in hamstring activation. so do rdls. problem solved.
i love trap bar. i've spent so long adjusting my form on squat and deadlift and always had odd pains. first time i picked up a trap bar every problem i had instantly went away.
it's no wonder they're heavily used by pro athletes.
Doesn't feel as good.
I enjoy barbell deadlifts so I will always do them.

This.
I'm not a powerlifter I train for general strength and overall muscle development. I couldn't care less about my pl total

Trapbar satisfies ego better, can lift heavier
>>38873734
doesn't satisfy the ego for anyone who isn't in denial, because they know everyone who knows anything about lifting judges them to be a bitch for using the trap bar

I used a trap bar in highschool, it was amazing how much weight you can lift with that thing. I've never used straps, but that's the closest I've come to considering it.

It is indeed good
Is it actually cheating? I can DL lmao2pl8 with the barbell, but if I throw that on the trap bar, it is just *too* easy. Not to mention it's much easier to grip.
I know 225 is still 225, so it's not like I'm lifting less, am I?

It has better leverages and is less taxing on your lower back so that's not a limiting factor

Trapbar deadlifts are closer to dumbbell squats than actual deadlifts. There's a reason you don't just squat as a replacement for deadlifts.
