Ahh, good memory.

[No Crust Racing]

Has anyone had experience with the Hex Trap bar?

Looks like it could be a bit easier/safer on the back.

I'm not about to buy one, just a random discussion topic more than anything.

Part of me thinks that it'd allow you to lift more without risking the back, but at the same time makes me think that if the back is supposed to be getting a workout during DLs then you're kind of cheating.

I'm thinking it makes the squat a pull exercise rather than push too.

Looks like it just targets your legs and traps more due to being able to load more weight onto the bar and retain a more upright/vertical spine.

You're right, somewhat defeating the purpose....though I'd definitely give it a shot myself right now - surely better than not doing deadlifts at all

I didn't squat last night when I was supposed to, will I lose all my gains?

[-FIGJAM-]

not only your gains, but you will soon develop a vagina

[No Crust Racing]

Yes you will, I'm pretty sure your post count will start going backwards now too.

Until you go and squat again.

And don't hate on vagina's a decent one can take an absolute pounding.

If you don't mind contracting superaids and head cancer, you have nothing to worry about.

lol wat

People keep referring to vaginas in a derogatory sense, implying weakness.

It's been said before, that testicles are pretty damn fragile, but the vagina can take a pounding by comparison.

Take that how you will

Vaginas ftw.

I don't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die.

Guess no vagina for you then.

That would suit Birds fine, I'm sure if he could clone and date himself he would

Exactly. Doing this exercise to avoid an injury that never used to be there is defeating the purpose of building the back stronger.

Stronger back = deadlift more.

Working the rest of the muscle around the problem makes those muscles stronger, but not the injured ones = imbalances

[No Crust Racing]

Imbalances are right up my alley, I should definitely get one.

Just gettig freight quotes on racks at the moment.

What?

I'm saying deadlift the proper way after, in this case back, is healed.. Not do something that is a way around fixing the issue.

Hit the uphill cardio with a weighted backpack and run through water.
