Exercise Description

The trap bar deadlift builds serious lower body and back strength while being easier on your spine than regular deadlifts. It hits your glutes and hamstrings hard.

How To

1. Step inside the trap bar with feet hip-width apart, bar over mid-foot 2. Grab the handles with a neutral grip, chest up, shoulders back 3. Drive through your heels and stand up tall, keeping the trap bar close to your body 4. Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for one second 5. Lower the trap bar back down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the entire trap bar deadlift movement • Drive through your heels, not your toes, for maximum power • Keep the bar path straight up and down during your trap bar deadlift • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Letting your knees cave inward during the trap bar deadlift instead of tracking over your toes • Rounding your back or letting your chest drop forward • Not fully standing up straight or skipping the glute squeeze at the top of your trap bar deadlift
