Wondering how people programme the trap bar. I have one at home with two handle heights. I don’t have a rack at the moment or or a standard barbell.
I was wondering if your could program the trap deadlift as you would barbell back squat? Say 3 sets of 5 three times a week using linear progression? Or will this lead to overtraining and should it be treated like a deadlift where intensity and volume is scaled back to reduced fatigue and risk of injury. I am aware that a trap bar deadlift is a hinge pattern and not a squat. I’m just trying to develop a programme I can base around the trap bar for the next few months. Many thanks and sorry if this has been asked before.
