[quote=a-dog;1521734]question for you guys:
have you ever done deads using a trap bar? I have some back problems and whenever I do any type of lifting in front of my body like a regular deadlift my back bothers me alot. With the trap bar the movement will be more "linear" so I think I can do these without any torque on my lower back. I never really considered it but the place I work out at just got a trap bar.
Let me know what you think.[/quote]
Trap has it advantages and disadvantages. It will decrease the possibility for injuries. But if the bar is not place properly, then it can serve for as a hammy movements than a back thickness exercise.
