Deadlift and Trap bar deadlift in same week?

[CAswole]

I want to try adding in the trap bar deadlift after I squat. But I also deadlift to start my back workout so I don't know if having the two in the same week in addition to squatting would maybe be too much. Meaning maybe on my hips or knees excetera overall central nervous system type thing. I only trained three days a week right now as work permits so I like to try and get the most bang for my buck. What are your guys are opinions?

It's fine. Trap bar is significantly different from regular deadlift, less taxing, too.

I do three squat movements and three deadlift movements every week. Just gotta stay away from RPE 10's.

Like Perrin said, it'll be ok. You might need some time adjusting to added workload but it's not too taxing of a lift like deads are. I've squatted up to 6x a week while pulling twice. Once I get my groove back I'll probably settle somewhere around 2-3squat days with 3-5 squatting movements and 2-3 deadlift days with up to 3 pulling movements.

Trap bar is more like a squat/front squat than a dead lift.

I love it and less taxing on my rather crap knees. I also use it for something like farmers walks too.

Trap bar for higher reps. More quad dominant movement.
