How To Do A Trap Bar Deadlift Exercise Video Demonstration and Guide
The Trap Bar Deadlift is another variation of the deadlift, but rather than using a barbell, the deadlift is completed using a trap bar, a.k.a. a hex bar.
Using a trap bar may place less stress on the spine.
To get started:
- Step into the center of the trap bar, with a hip width stance.
- While keeping your chest up, push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body to grab the handles with your hands.
- While maintaining a flat back, push your feet through the ground and lift the bar by extending your hips and knees, without rounding your back.
- Reverse the movement to lower the bar back to the floor and repeat.
