AXXON TRAP BAR RJ82125

There is one exercise that offers power and effectiveness, but lots of gym goers and athletes seem to avoid performing it on their training programs. We are referring to the deadlift. This exercise not only works the lower area of the back, but it also strengthens the whole body and it significantly improves stamina, strength and total muscle mass. Since this exercise is so effective, why some people insist on avoiding it?

This exercise, if performed in an inappropriate way, can cause severe pain at the lower back and “derail” you from the gym for a very long time. The problem occurs due to wrong body stance and arched back.

How can the trap bar help an athlete perform deadlifts using the correct and recommended technique?

1. It allows deadlift performance even by people who suffer from lower back issues. During conventional deadlifts, the bar is positioned in front of your body and, as a result, your body is “dragged” downwards by the weight. In an effort to lift the weight, you usually arch your back.

But when you perform deadlifts using a trap bar, then your body gets “into” the bar, the bar’s grips come to the sides and you don’t have to arch your back in order to lift the weight. In this case, the weight is lifted vertically, which minimizes the risk of injury and protects your lower back and spine from overdue stress, plus that you’re not rolling your shoulders and all you have to do is to hold the grips firmly.

2. It allows you to use heavier weights. So, if you want to experience greater improvements in your body, you’ll have to use heavier weights on this basic exercise. And since using the trap bar the whole technique is flawless, you’ll be able to load the bar safely.

HOW TO PERFORM DEADLIFTS BY USING A TRAP BAR:

A. You get into the bar with your legs inside shoulders’ width.

B. You slightly bend your knees and during the bar’s descent you don’t let them move forward but vertically.

C. Your chest should be up, your hands must hold the bar tight and the shoulders should remain back.

D. When you start the deadlift, the first body parts descending should be your glutes and your thighs.
