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 :P

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.

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

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

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 :D

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

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.

thoughts about tough mudder?

was thinking about doing some training for it in september so bit of time to get 'fit'

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

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
