deadlifts with a trap bar

[SwitchMan]

Trap bar dead lifts fom a raised platform? decent for legs? Lower back problems is why I ask.

They work my legs just fine. It's a squat that you hold on to with your hands, basically.

Bar balance can be an issue. Specifically, if you don't have your hands exactly centered the bar will rock backwards or forwards.

Just out of curiosity, what is wrong with your back that you can do a DL with a trap bar and not a barbell?

My bar has raised handles to avoid that tipping issue.
