Trap Bar Banded Deadlift
Description
The trap bar banded deadlift attaches resistance bands from the floor to the trap bar handles. The bands provide accommodating resistance, getting harder near the top. It overloads the lockout where the legs and hips are strongest and combines the upright pull of the trap bar with band tension.
