The trap-bar lift moves the center of the weight back slightly so that you involve the quads to a much higher degree. It basically combines the squat and deadlift into one movement. And there is NOTHING more physically demanding. Try it- you haven't lived until you've done a set of 400 pound trap-bar deadlifts.

I deadlift in my garage wearing flip-flops. I don't reccommend it. Brian R: get the straps. Make the doorway work. Regarding how many times you should deadlift: get a journal. Do some deadlifts. Log those lifts. Repeat. Quite simply, you gotta find your own recovery ability and tolerance to the training stimulus. So do as much as you can and back off if you have to. If you're overdoing it your log will show it. Learn when to push and when to back off. Keep listening to Jason; I've been reading his stuff for about a year and he knows his shit.

I had never even heard of the concept, but I tried it today and added 25 pounds to my lift. I'm fairly new to the deadlifting club and I appreciate all the info I can get.

I had no idea. quick question in regards to blast straps.......I have a weighted vest and a pull up bar in my bedroom door. Will I be able to due proper pushups using the straps on the bar or will the door way block me from doing this? I don't want to purchase the straps if I can't use them also, for beginner to moderates, how many times a week should you do the deadlift? hoping you can stear me in the right direction.

Wrestling shoes have a very low sole, which is close to going barefooted, but the high top supports the ankles. One shoe often overlooked for deadlifting and squatting is the wrestling shoe.
