Trapbar deadlift
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The trapbar deadlift is a weight training exercise using a specialty bar known as a trapbar. As the name suggests, it is derived from the deadlift.
To perform the trapbar deadlift (TBDL), one loads the bar, steps inside the hollow portion of the bar, bends down, grasps the handles, stands erect, then lowers the bar to the ground in the exact opposite path.
Proponents of trapbar deadlifts include Hardgainer Magazine, Bob Whelan, the Cyberpump website, and Dr Ken Leistner and iron-game writer Paul Kelso.
