Trap Bar Deadlifts?

[Outlier]

Any advantages of doing trap bar deads instead of conventional deads? It seems that the traps would be more engaged during trap bar deads as well. Any thoughts?

they seem easier on my back, not sure if its just in my mind but that's just something I feel. Not sure if others agree

A lot of folks with problems getting their lower back into position love them.

Personally, I have problems with the trap bar rotating around me so I stick with the conventional for now.

Less stress on lower back and greater quad activation. Great to rotate in to programming

I agree.

1 of the best lat exercises too, if you want a trap focused deadlift use rack pulls above the knee or a weightlifting style deadlift into powershrug both excel in trap activation
