Threw out my back a couple days ago. Surprisingly feeling pretty good, all things considered. Would you guys recommend just stick with the hex bars deadlift to protect my back once I get back into the weight room?

You can trap-bar a lot more weight, as long as your grip holds, so in the end the forces on your back aren't so different.
The good part is that you'll have to keep the heavier weight up somehow, so your grip/forearms/traps will get an extra workout, not the most important part of a deadlift but a nice side effect.

Doesn’t matter unless you’re a powerlifter
>do whatever the fuck you wanna do

just do 50%-60% of your working weight for a week and if it still checks out go heavy on the hex. Eventually back to conventional after a month.

Trap bar deadlifts are better than conventional deadlifts. Safer too. Just stick with them from now on.

Trap-bar deadlifts are fine. Read this: strongerbyscience.com

(To elaborate a little: if you've average mobility, high-handle trap-bar deadlifts will make it easier to get into the correct starting position (i.e., without rounding your lower back). You also don't have the issue of the weight drifting away from you (which again puts more stress on the lower back). It's also easier to brace with a 4" belt if you don't have to get into a low starting position. I'd recommend using it, if you have one available.)

damn, didn't realise trap bar was so much better for developing power.
Can't wait to dust off the gym trap bar.

Why are there so many fags on Jow Forums lately
If you have any place in your lifting program that you can work in hex bar anything, you are NOT training your squat and deadlift efficiently.
Your squats and dead should be trained as often as possible (~every 3 days) leaving absolutely no room for hex bar work.
>use it as an accessory
You’re always better off doing more of the major movement than wasting energy on some Canadian version of the real thing
Save yourself the fuck-around-itis and just avoid hex bar.
These threads (just like most others) are fucking cancer.

Why do you think that substituting trap-bar deadlifts for deadlifts is a bad thing?
Jack Young
how are you meant to claim that you are an Online Amateur Participant in the Sport of Powerlifting if you don't ignore what athletes etc. do and do deadlifts? pls ignore the fact that a trap-bar dl is closer to a conventional dl than a sumo dl is

there's a weird meme online about training the competition lifts. it makes no sense. we're not competing powerlifters. if someone wants to do front squats and trap-bar deadlifts, why shouldn't they? they train a squat pattern and a hinge pattern
Parker Wood
You're implying pretty strong implications mate.
And you aren't asking yourself the underlying question:
>WHY are you training the squat and deadlift at maximal efficiency?
The only acceptable answer is 'because powerlifting/strongmen competitions', if you're training to get bigger, or stronger but not for a lifting competition, you need the movement patterns, hip and knee flexions (and ofc as complexes, not as isolation), NOT specifically the deadlift and the back squat.
Then the trap bar deadlift can be a good main exercise, the exercise would support your goals.
Nathan Ward
As one of those people that train primarly front squats and trap-bar deads:
>they shouldn't because idiots won't do enough RDLs and other posterior chain exercises and end up with a frontal imbalance.
Jordan Jones
If you aren't power lifting you literally NEVER need to do deadlift, especially for hypertrophy.
>daily reminder the biggest back of all time never did deadlift
Yes he was on roids, but he would have the same development to a much smaller scale doing the same routine so get fucked deadlift shitters.
Hudson Howard
it depends on how you set up for a trap-bar deadlift. you can make it close to a pure hinge or close to a pure squat, depending on how low you sink your hips. i think we broadly agree about how to programme these things
Ethan Sanders
jesus christ mate steady on. I do jefferson and trap bar deadlifts instead of conventional because
>I enjoy them more
>fuck you

>train these lifts that are proven to have less of an impact developing your overall power.
We're not all bodybuilders and powerlifters m8
Adam Lewis
Great for people who can't handle normal deadlifts

Hex bar won't necessarily protect your back but it's certainly worth a shot.
Matthew Wright
>there are still some brain-dead faggots who didn't throw away squats and deads for superior hex bar deads, which utilizes both of these lifts in one

Jaxson Watson
Trap bar stuff is a staple in athletic strength and conditioning. In most sports, barbell deadlifts are actually used pretty sparingly in comparison. Just because it's not in starting strength doesn't mean there's no use for it, faggot.

hex bar vs standard bar
which is better for back workout and why

if you don't compete in PL, you're better off doing trap bar
safer, hits quads a lot more while keeping hip extension demand almost the same, higher peak power production, simpler form
