Benefits of Trap-Bar Deadlift

(1/2) > >>

ahotzo:
I have some amazon credit from selling back books and want to buy something for my home gym.  I can get a good trap-bar and am strongly considering it.  I have read before that the trap bar is good for people who have lower back issues.  I don't have lower back issues, but I also don't care about competing in the lifts, so if it is a safer alternative I would be all for it.  Anyway, just wondering what you guys think about it and its uses.

LBSS:
how much price? if i had trap-bar money to blow i think i'd get a vertec.

ahotzo:
It costs $120, but I have like $80 credit...so its only $40 out of pocket.

LBSS:
meh, trap bar is low on the priority list for me. i'd first go for some good bands (e.g. serious steel, not therabands) or a quality 16 lb. medicine ball.

ahotzo:
Thanks for the suggestion man, but I already have bands.  I have rubberbanditz which are basically the same as you said.  I have "Medium" [20 - 35 lbs. (9 - 16 kg) Resistance], "Heavy" [30 - 50 lbs. (14 - 23 kg) Resistance], Robust [40 - 80 lbs. (18 - 36 kg) "Resistance"].  I have considered getting the heavier ones but can't think right now in my training what I would use them for (the next levels are 50-120 lbs, 70-180 lbs, 80-200 lbs...ranging from $26-$50). 

Also, I'm building a reverse hyper this week, so I'm going to need some cash for that.  I have most of the material in scrap but I need to buy the pips (unless my uncle who is a plumber has enough scrap).
