Are you considered a bitch if you use the hexbar, instead of just the regular bar to dead lift?
>just started lifting this year
>my form for dead lifts has gotten better, but still not perfect
>tried hexbar for first time after someone recommended it
>can lift more/ do more reps easily
>back never comes close to curling

it's not a deadlift if yr using the hexbar faget
>>36705329
This, a hexbar deadlift, is closer to a leg press than to an actual deadlift, not that it isn't useful, but it just isn't the best substitute.
Hexbar basically turns the movement into a poor man's squat.
Deload your dealift weight and improve your technique, faggot.
You're putting more compressive force on your spine instead of shear force on it as you would if you're doing it with a barbell, which is an important function of deadlifting with a barbell.
Would not replace it with deadlifts
Wouldn't even suggest training with it at all
I did farmerwalks with this fucking piece of shit the other day and now my knees hurt and I cant fucking squat today.
The fuck did I do that shit for, never again, sticking to squats, fuck your farmers walks
>>36705347
So if I'm already doing squats, then there's no point.
thanks bros

>sticking to squats, fuck your farmers walks
They are completely different exercises with different purposes, one cannot just replace the other
>>36705434
Yes, but that different exercise has temporarily fucked up my ability to perform another exercise
The hex bar dead may be the best squat ever. Think about it. You can hex bar dl more than you can squat at the same depth, the weight distribution/centre of gravity makes it this way. You're not thrashing your lower back either. Prove me wrong.

What if the Hexbar is bigger for more space? This looks superior to using a normal barbell to me. Deadlift is a shitty exercise due to shin scrapping.

The positioning on a hexbar means that its much less of a hip hinge movement like a deadlift and much more like a partial squat or a leg press. This has its uses in training but generally fills a different niche - it'd be like deciding that overhead pressing fills the same training spot as flat bench.

>don't want to deadlift because it hurts my shins
Come on, senpai.

How long do you think I should wait before I go back?

What kind of shit half ROM are you doing? Look at OP's picture. No one has the proportions to get their thighs to parallel with hex bar DL
>>36705347
boardie, you are able to do a hexbar deadlift with 125% of 1rm and then do a slow negative. The positive part of the movement is shit, but still getting some benefit from it, but if your 1rm on deadlifts are 400 and you do a 450 hex dead with a slow negative (that mimics a deadlift form) then youre cooking with fire
>hurr Durr trapbar makes you do squats
There is absolutely no reason you can not have your knees, hips, and back at the same angle as a traditional deadlift. It's easier to use with good form because weight is better centered with your body. You should not be using your quads, if you do you're doing a bastardized back squat not a deadlift. Unless you're competing, trapbar deads are perfectly fine.

>due to shin scrapping
I bet you wear lifting gloves to stop your hands from getting calloused. .
>>36706187
I bet you use air conditioning in the summer, beta cuck.
>>36705956
Is that bitch supposed to be arching his back so much?
>>36706119
Yeah but what's the function of that? The concentric is the only important part of the lift
>>36706162
>>36705313
it's fine for hammie strengthening but putting the weight in line with your axis does make this a hack squat and removes a lot of the back pulling exercise and glute drive at the end, also you should drop your hips lower when using these since it'll be mechanically easier, and parallel would give you more ROM and work since you are essentially squating
not judging op or this guy though
a happy fit is a healthy fit
>>36705313
Why do you care what they think?
>>36706094
Turn the hex bar upside down so that the extended handlebars are pointing at the ground. Your new hand position is now lower and you should be able to break parallel.
