Excellent explanation. I'm just starting out at my gym and had no idea what this thing (the hex bar) was for. Looking forward to incorporating it. Thank you!
I just bought a hex bar so I have been watching a lot of these sorts of videos. this is one of the better demos on how to do a proper hex bar deadlift. it explains a lot of things i had been wondering about more clearly that some of the other videos i've watched.
Been hex deadlifting for awhile now, but always checking my technique. I've watched a lot of videos.. yours is the most informative and complete, by far. Great work, and thank you!
HEX bar can be pulled like a deadlift to there's literally no 1 form on this apparatus. my preference is with a horizontal back as i back squat for my quads.
Yep you're correct! You can imagine that each person will do this a bit different depending on their torso length, femur length, and ankle flexibility. For our clientele, if we can get them to Hex Bar Deadlift as shown in this video, we can get them to "feel" what bracing the spine is. Then we can progress them to more difficult things to learn, like a loaded hip hinge. People who have sit all day tend to have a challenging time hip hinging so this is a great starting point into more difficult things. Thank you for your comment we appreciate it!
For sure. BUT if your shoulders end up in front of your ankles, you might as well just use a barbell as you are negating the major biomechanical advantage of the hex/trap bar.
I find this form of deadlifting harder actually! I own a hex bar which I have always used with the higher hips/conventional DL form, only in a hex bar instead.
Oh interesting. We typically start people with Hex, and progress to Barbell. Learning how to stabilize the lower back and hinge properly is quite difficult for most. Maybe you have the conventional deadlift form drilled so well that the Hex version is just hard to implement.
Looks like the key is the keep the shoulders, and therefore the weight, in the same horizontal position. That forces the weight to come up straight vertically. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's a really nice sized HexBar, do you remember the name/manufacturer?
Pretty sure this one is Troy Barbell

Yes, you have the right idea!
What is the weight and length of the trap bar
This particular one is 50lbs. Not sure of dimensions.
It didn't go well at all my back hurts like hell
we hope you feel better, soon!
It's not a deadlift.
Yes Simon, it is. Thanks.
