Trap Bar Deadlifts for HUGE legs 

Stopped doing conventional deadlifts and started doing this. In 4 weeks my squat went up from 120kg for 6 to 140kg for 8 - I won't be wasting my time on conventional deadlifts anymore ... Not a powerlifter. My legs clearly got bigger too, quads especially.

I sent this video to my son to Reinforce form and function using the Trap bar, my 17 year old rack pulled below the knee 405 - on a traditional deadlift . I have used a trap bar in the passed n got to 285 for 3 sets of 10 , to put it simply the trap bar combines the most power the full squat and a conventional deadlift into one piece of equipment if you stick with it I'm sure you'll come to find out that nothing else works as good as a trap bar. My legs always grow well using the Trap bar - ! Having gone up to 360 on squats for 20 reps - I am a firm believer the trap bar works incredibly well. Up your protein Boys n hang on. Enjoy your lifts .

Possibly the most underrated channel on RU-vid Fitness.

I was thinking there's an argument that the Trapbar is the best expression of human strength and force production. Conventional deadlift and Sumo both take decent amounts of skill in order to produce great force as well as strength. Where as with a high handle trapbar you can basically take a group of random people off the street get them deadlifting it safely, get them learning it quickly and then have a decent idea of how much force they can produce through their body.

I have a bad back so I’ve always avoided dead lifts but I just started doing traps and they feel so damn good. They’re one of my favorites now

at 6 5 with 37" inseam this is a game changing approach for me. feels like a natural movement.

Clear, simple, concise...thanks Joe.

Great explanation of the basic form. Went to these during the lockdowns as I have minimal equipment in my garage. Much easier on my low back. A whole different feel than leg press plus more of a 'full body' exercise; shoulders, core, glutes. A lot of great info on this channel. Thanks.

Best video on how to use the trap bar thank you for keeping it simple.

Best part about them is in the name, them traps gonna be getting some meat on them. I train early in morning before work and this is just a great all in one movement for gains on upper and lower body, working back traps core quads hams and a little calves all in one. And a great thing I love to do is a back off set and the end strait into some farmers walks with the trap bar

Always a pleasure seeing you on my feed Joe thank you 🙏🏻

I've been giving these a go recently as I've come back to lifting recently and had experienced issues with my back in the past despite being very careful about form, which I think were cause by some kind of hip imbalance. Anyway, they definitely feels a lot less stressful on the back the handles are horrible to hold and make my arms work a lot harder than during regular deads. Possibly because as a shorter guy at 5' 8" the angle of your arms in relation to the trap bar handles is considerably greater? Anyhoo, my lower back thanked me.

This has been the main Quad killer on my split now for over a year, i dont like squats too much since im tall but this is basically a reverse squat minus the balance issues.

Watching this video while sitting in the Gym. As a newbie to Gym I was always curious about trap bar. Good explanation sir. Thank you.

Good tips. The best pumps I've ever gotten in my Quadriceps came from doing these standing on a pair of step-ups side-by-side (to increase the range of motion). Trap Bar can't have the secondary upper handle for it work though.

I am quite new to using weights, you have made it clear for me. God bless you.

Very impressive knowledge about the deadlift. Nice tips

I appreciate this explanation of how to use the trap bar.

This guy is like if Ryan Humiston actually gave solid information.

Well, with this one video, I'm subscribing! Thank you for the thorough and clear instruction.

Nice thorough explanation of technique

Thanks 4 info, knowledge is power

So i do leg extensions 60kg, for reps 10-15 on leg exstensions super set trap bar deficit deadlift stading on 2 20kg plates, the trap bar is loaded with 120kg of plates, about 8-10 reps on trap bar what's your thoughts, this is about my 3rd exercise on my quad focus leg day

Hex bar really is a no brainer to use instead of the straight bar.

Great pro tip about the handle position. I never considered that!

This was very very good explanation of good form. Subscribing now 👍🏽

Just found this channel n hope the rest of his vids are equally as good. Nice vid

Nicely executed and thought out.

I have short arms so I like using the 2" advantage handles. Thanks for the video

Noticed you gained like 20k subs recently, Congrats! Do you agree that the eccentrics on the conventional deadlift should not be controlled since there is more risk of injury? Some say the conv deadlift is a concentric lift only..

Just finished deadlifting with my trap bar. I did zero bicep curls, yet my biceps are sore like I did. Very strange all the muscles deadlifts work.

Nice video. Good information and no BS.

Thank You!! Great explanation all the way through for us noobies😛😛

Good Information and nicely explained!!

excellent guide! thank you coach.

Thanks for video!

Hey Joe...Would you recommend heel elevation for this exercise as well?

TDL and RDL are for skill and form based fitness, trap bar are for functional fitness. Thats been my take over time anyway

First time seeing this channel. Excellent. Subbed.

Great instructional video! Seems to me the trap-bar is an unrated piece of equipment. I fine it much easier to use for squats, deadlifts and RDL. Thanks for sharing.

I sustained a full quad tear; 2 sx later and 3 years of PT. I finally have full ROM but I can squat with the hex bar vs a regular squat. I feel I get a better work out but will I develop the size squats gave for over 20 years. Any suggestions to maximize the teardrop without leg extensions. Von Monger and I had a similar injury but I’ve seen his workout and he is performing extensions despite the injury. My MD is wondering how I made a full recovery just need to get the atrophy out. Sorry for my long inquiry. Great show

Awesome ❤❤❤ thank you brother

thanks

Great video.

Thanks for this

I like to reset and brace for each rep like I would a conventional deadlift.

I've always enjoyed leg pressing the earth away

Good video, thanks. Wondering if you have advice for doing a deficit trap bar lift please?

This is excellent

Very very very informative! However, can an individual who suffers from scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis use the hex bar as a substitute for the dead man lift?

I don’t normally comment but have been a big fan of the channel for a while now. I never ever thought of twisting the trap bar round. I’ve always used the raised handles….what a fool! Thanks

Best sets x reps for a leg day?

Please shoot some video for RU-vid with Ben Pollack!

Thanks!👍🏻

Liked, subscribed and rang the bell.

Thank you

In order to reduce axial load. Would not locking out / going all the way up be beneficial?

Great T-shirt 🤟

here for MASS

Man this fucking "Scottish hip" of mine doesn't allow me to conventional, with straight and braced back, I tried everything, gotta buy this bar

"meat militia" is that his brand? I'm new here. Anybody has info on that T shirt?.

Do you do those on back or leg day?

What are those black things on the wall?

But Joe i can't do sumo with a trap bar 🤭🤭🤭

An alternative to these that doesn't require all the fancy equipment, is a split leg deadlift with one foot on either side picking it up in the center. The straddling bar style is a bit risky, but once you get it down that can work legs as well.

But can I do them for mass though?

When did David Arquette get jacked and grow a beard??

Is this Ives from Tenet?

Excellent stuff...but why are u guys always dressed in shorts sizes XXXXXXXL or something? Why are u working out your legs and hide them under a tent?

He’s out of breath

I purchased a trip bar and I am happy lol
