Trap Bar Deadlifts aren't the same as Barbell Deadlifts. It's science.

Great read on the pros/cons between the straight bar deadlift vs trap bar deadlift. TBDL has many benefits including higher velocity with higher loads, less force on the lumbar spine (bar paths below), and in this study, athletes had higher 1RM's. https://t.co/QHMKCj6mhe https://t.co/wrDvImblIu

@joethe_duck @MATTZANA @StrengthDebates You need to have an understanding of moment arms, which you clearly don't. In this study, they measured forces at hip and knee for the two lifts. The results are obvious. Believe what you want, but you're wrong. https://t.co/KpZa2YgqNx https://t.co/3cL5Rfy2fW
