Should’ve mentioned how the trap bar deadlift is much closer to the conventional deadlift, while sumo deadlift is closer to a squat.

I went from hurting my back every single time i deadlifted trying to conform to the conventional only mindset to nearly doubling my max pull in less than a year with a trap bar. Absolutely my favorite exercise by an arm and a leg!

Tell em dude tell themmm. The Hex Bar is the future. Bodybuilders are not Powerlifters, plenty of options & methods, to hell with tribal dogma.

Alex your back during this cut is looking the best it’s ever been. Incredibly well developed thick back 💪

Was told by several PT’s to just “train bench and curls/stop working out” because of my low back. To hell with the professionals, I’m pain free with high bar squats and trap bar deads!!

[NikateeN]

At 37 years old this is the only way I deadlift these days. Even with a bad lower back I can do these pain free.

Great video man. I REALLY like deficit work in general, and the trap bar makes it possible to even use truly MASSIVE deficits so that the bar is essentially starting _below_ the tops of your feet, which a straight bar doesn't allow. I credit higher rep large deficit (~6-10 inches) pulls in general for a lot of my erector strength/size. It's way harder and definitely limits the weight but for size it's excellent.

People are often underwhelmed by my strength numbers of the core lifts, but pulling 12x150kg from a 10 inch deficit and low handles on the trap bar or 10x140kg on a snatch grip 8 inch deficit on a normal bar will slap some meat on your back for sure. Definitely better for more advanced trainees though with a better sense of body positioning and bracing.

Today I hit a deadlift PR for trap bar - 200kg at 17 years old - and I must say it felt awesome, no strain on lower back whatsoever

[PhilFitworldexposed]

Really digging that u giving us lots of strength standards recently bro

[coopaloop]

Hells yea buddy, after I hit my 700lbs on the high handle like yourself I switched to a low single handle trapbar. I've hit 600 on that and it got me to a 500lb squat. It does not fatigue your CNS like a conventional or sumo but you still reap a tonne of benefits. The Trapbar is a fantastic tool and I have the vlogs to prove it👊. Thanks for getting me into the Trapbar Alex, cheers.

[alariciii]

HELL YES! The trap bar completely transformed my entire life. It's basically getting jacked set to easy mode.

[pretzl]

Trapbar has always been my favorite! And you were a huge reason I stood by it all these years instead of idolizing conventional

[LewisMSP]

I love the trap bar! It's super underrated and just feels so damn good :)

[Griffmassyt]

I only do trap bar deadlifts so I was very curious about this awesome video!

[Hammerhead]

I've switched to safety bar squats and trap bar deadlifts recently, been finding it much more enjoyable and so has my shoulders and back

[HYPNOTiK_]

I love using the trap bar!I like to combine the deadlifts then immediately go into some farmers carries.

[jornsongardr]

Abs are popping brother! Would love a core training video with your current movements/strategies this cut

[meowchinchilla]

I’ve been watching your channel for years, before watching you I believed that only deadlifts with a regular barbell would yield results. But trap bar deadlifts are so underrated. It’s shame it’s this way and it feels like it’s purist mentality that if it ain’t regular barbel it can’t yield strength results. Thank you for your videos they have improve my gains and helped me out a lot in my lifting journey.

[jima]

I’m glad you made this video! The best back/deadlift gains I ever made were from alternating between the conventional deadlift and the trap bar every other lower body workout.

Been doing the trap bar deadlift for 2 months. I have only just gotten back to the gym after a two year injury break. I'm up to 6x185kg (408lb) for my third set... You can climb fast but must have the mindset and genetics like old mate says.
I have not used a straight bar in nearly 10yrs and avoided the deadlift due to a serious lower back injury until I found the trap bar. Game changer!!
