The trap bar is designed to distribute the weight evenly throughout the body, reducing the strain on the lower back that is often associated with traditional deadlifts. Regular use of the trap bar can lead to increased strength gains in the legs, back, and core, as well as improvements in overall muscular endurance. The trap bar can be used for a variety of exercises, including deadlifts, shrugs, and farmer’s walks, making it a versatile piece of equipment for strength training.
