Hey Bfold, do you thi8nk the trap bar gives better resuylts than the straight bar? cause I have the choice of using either and I am not sure which one might improve my strength more.... any thoughts.....

What's the advantage of using it?

Not gonna f up your shins. But shit, that's what deads are all about!!

With the trap bar, you have no variation. Regular bar, you have several different grips to choose from. But, I guess the trap bar is good for a change every now and then.

i wish my gym had a trap bar, my shins are gnarled. i cant even do leg raises cuz the pressure from the pads hurts my shins too much.

Ive got a velcro pad that I put around the bar to protect my shins. It rolls right up them without eating up my legs. Very nice.
