First time I used the trap bar, it was the BEST equipment I ever used for deadlifting. Not only it's because I'm able to lift more weight than a standard bar and all, to me it feels a bit more natural the fact how my hands are completely neutral grip and the range of motion especially when using the lower handles feels much better. Though I wouldn't exactly replace my entire deadlifitng with the trap since a standard bar still brings benefits differently as well. Best I would say is doing both. Importantly as long as you perform your lifts with good proper form

Scott Williamson the trap bar is great but if you were continually tearing your hamstring with regular dead’s then there was a reason and you have a huge weakness somewhere. It would be wise to strengthen those hamstrings. If you use the trap bar as a bandaid and ignore the regular dead’s then you will never fix the issue. But it’s your body so do what you want.

@HaIsKuL Жыл бұрын
If it doesn't stress your lower back as much (it shouldn't), then I'd recommend going with the low handles even if just sometimes. It's the same movement with a greater range of motion. The weight you'll be able to lift is a bit less but you'll be able to train that explosive start of the movement and rep it out for growing muscle.

Rippetoe hates the trap bar for one reason only: it doesn't need "coaching." He even says the trap bar is an "uncoached deadlift." He said something similar about high bar squats, that it is an "uncoached squat." If a lift doesn't need to be coached, or doesn't need a lot of coaching (I would argue that there are some important technique points to consider with the high bar squat, but for the most part it is a fairly natural movement), Rippetoe and his minions of Starting Strength Certified Coaches can't make money off of it. If you want to train at a Starting Strength gym 3x a week it will cost you $275/month. You have to train with a coach and you only do the big 4 exercises: squat, deadlift, press, and bench, and for that you pay $3,300 per year. Now, I think a lifter, especially a novice lifter, can go a long way with just squat, deadlift, press, and bench. But $3,300 will buy you all the equipment you need to do squat, deadlift, press, and bench in your garage or basement.

I got my first trap bar about a dozen years ago. I started using it (high handles only) for about 70% of my Deadlifts.

You can get a lot more weight on it and even use it in a rack.

I actually did get injured on a TBDL, and I believe it's because it moved in the sagital plane. I still love the lift though. Instead of using the low handles now though, where they're in line with the weight and it makes it unstable, i use the high handles but stand on a plate. Makes the lift MUCH more stable while still having a very similar ROM as the low handles.

With the point at the end about it being a pulling movement, that does depend on how one uses it. There's a squat movement pattern, and then there's a deadlift movement pattern (which also includes RDL and SLD). All can be done with a trap bar. Not the deepest of squats, but yea. Although, you could stand on a cube, that is small enough to go up and through the centre of the trap bar... for a straight up and down squat movement pattern. That would be pretty wild. Okay I'm going to try that! when I squat with my arms down, pretending I'm holding my trap bar (1.34" handles), the back of my fingers are 3cm off the ground. So I'm going to need some elevation here! Although, using the low handles gets Alan Thrall to justtt above parallel with the ground, which is pretty good. But a bit further would be nice.
