How to do a trap bar deadlift

  1. Step inside the trap bar and set feet hip-width apart with shins near the handles
  2. Hinge at the hips, bend the knees, and grip both handles with a neutral grip
  3. Brace your core, keep your chest up and back flat
  4. Drive through your heels and mid-foot, extending hips and knees to stand fully upright
  5. Lock out at the top by squeezing the glutes, then lower the bar under control to the floor

Form tips

  • Keep your back flat and neutral throughout the lift
  • Push the floor away rather than pulling with your lower back
  • Keep the bar path vertical and close to your center of mass
  • Fully extend the hips at lockout without hyperextending the spine
