The setup is essentially the same for every lift that involves pulling off the floor. See the Trap Bar Back Row description for other pertinent cuing.

Key Take-aways:

- Keep your core tight throughout the movement for stability.

- Avoid rounding your back to prevent injury.

- The movement should feel like you're standing up rather than pulling up with just your arms.

- Breathe in before you lift, hold your breath during the lift for stability.

The trap bar deadlift is often considered safer for the lower back than a conventional deadlift because the weight distribution is more centered over your feet, reducing the moment arm at the lower back. However, proper form is still crucial.
