Title: Trap Bar Deadlifts
Post by: The_Hammer on September 07, 2009, 12:23:06 AM

Are these any easier or harder than deadlifts with the straight bar?

definitely easier. The bar wouldn't rub against your shins and it ables you to to use more legs and less lower back. It is actually amost like a squat, but you will feel it in the traps and shoulders due to the gripping of the weight.
