Trap Bar Deadlift

Build total-body strength with this beginner-friendly deadlift alternative.

A safer and more accessible version of the traditional deadlift, the trap bar variant shifts the weight to your center for better joint alignment.

Instructions

  1. Stand centered inside a loaded trap bar and grip the handles.
  2. Lower your hips, lift your chest, and keep your back straight.
  3. Drive through your heels to extend your hips and knees simultaneously.
  4. Stand fully upright, then lower the bar under control to the floor.
