Banded Trap Bar Deadlift Video Exercise Guide

The banded trap bar deadlift is a variation of the trap bar deadlift and an exercise used to target the muscles of the posterior chain.

The main difference between the banded trap bar deadlift and other deadlift variations is the hand placement and use of a trap bar. The trap bar allows the lifter to maintain a more neutral grip as well as the weight distribution from the front of the body to the side of the body.

These slight changes seen in the banded trap bar deficit can help the lifter maintain a more neutral spine during the course of the movement.

The band used when performing banded trap bar deadlifts provides accommodating resistance. This means the closer one gets to a full contraction during the exercises, the more tension is placed on the targeted muscle groups.
