Deadlift brehs ... quick question

[Food Mane]

Is it normal to be able to lift more with a trap bar than with a normal barbell?

I'm wondering if there is an issue or if it means anything?

I can only hit 315 maybe 325 with a regular bar, but with a trap bar I can do 365 easily.

Is this normal or a sign of bad form with the regular bar? Underdeveloped muscles somewhere?

Any insight, brehs?

Very normal, that's the way it should be actually

Thanks, breh. I was worried it meant my form was off with my regular deads because it is more or less impossible to have poor form with the trap bar.

Yep your hands being at your side changes the dynamics along with being able to more fully engage your posterior chain.

Trap bar Deads are great. i actually prefer them over regular barbell. But I still do majority barbell

I prefer trap bar also, i'm tall, so it doesn't effect my form like when i would do it with a barbell

Might have to make that switch to the trap bar

I used to love trap bar deads but it made me a little complacent and became an easy excuse to not pull with the BB instead of an assistant to or something to alternate with


Whenever I platued now I do rack pulls and deficit deads for a few weeks, I'll stack 2 45 plates, stand on them and pull. It re-enforces the idea of using leg drive when you pull.

When I go back to pulling regular it feels like the weight is jumping off the floor to me.
