Anyone have any experience running PTTP using a trap-bar (or heavy dumbbells) rather than a standard barbell? I ask because I'm thinking of switching from strict S&S to S&S/PTTP in two-week blocks a la Easy Strength once I can easily do get-ups and swings with a respectable amount of weight ("Simple" S&S goal, for instance).
I don't have particularly easy access to a barbell but I do have some heavy duty dumbbell handles and about 380 pounds of weight plates for 'em sitting in my closet, so I figure I could do the PTTP portion with "trap-bar" deadlifts (i.e. dumbbell deadlifts with the dumbbells at my sides) and overhead presses. Just thought I'd test the waters and see if anyone has tried something like this. Cheers y'all!
