Trap Bar

“that they're not going to bottom out or can get to a box. So I think there's things we could do to manipulate that deadlift. One of the things we do oftentimes is elevate the bar either through a trap bar so the handles are elevated or just to be able to give them a little bit more security and knowing that when I do fail here, it will feel like I'm in a safe, secure position.”

“And you have to do this with a trap bar, not a straight bar, because then you, from a standing position, drop the bar. So the whole hex bar just drops. And then you drop yourself down with no tension and you pick it up and you do it again. So why would I do that? Well, I wanted maximum strength and power with zero size because size is weight.”
