Deadlifts done right = one of the best exercises you can do. 💪
Deadlifts get a bad reputation—and it’s undeserved. The stigma comes from seeing them done poorly, not from the exercise itself. When rushed, overloaded, or performed with bad mechanics, people get hurt—but that’s true for any movement.
When performed with proper form, deadlifts train your entire posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, core, and back—while reinforcing good movement patterns you use every day (hinge, lift, carry).
A well-executed deadlift:
• Builds real-world strength
• Improves spinal stability
• Protects your back instead of stressing it
• Translates to better performance in sports and life
For many people, the trap bar allows a more upright torso, better load distribution, and less stress on the low back—making it an excellent choice for beginners, athletes, or anyone working back into lifting.
The key isn’t how much weight is on the bar—it’s how you move it.
Strong hips. Braced core. Neutral spine.

Deadlifts aren’t the problem. Bad technique is.
