The first thing you’ll notice about the trap bar is its geometry. The most significant practical difference this translates into is where your body will bear the load and therefore, the kinds of exercises it best serves. It will also alter some of the older ones – for the better.
The bar itself is a diamond shape, which means you stand inside it and grip the handles laterally. This provides a more natural, neutral hand position. It also effectively positions the load around you, making it ideal for shoulder shrugs.
The trap bar also is excellent for deadlifts. It makes it easier to teach the deadlift and allows your torso to remain more upright, which means there are less shearing forces exerted on the spine. It also targets the quadriceps more than the posterior chain, which means that the benefits are transferred more effectively into vertical leap training.
It also means you won’t end up peeling the skin off your shins like you’re deadlifting with a cheese grater.
