Trap Bar Deadlift vs Squat – Which is better?

🔥 Both are powerhouse lower-body moves, but they hit your muscles in different ways:

👉 Trap Bar Deadlift
• More hip-dominant
• Targets glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors
• Neutral grip makes it easier on the lower back
• Great for building overall pulling strength

👉 Squat
• More knee-dominant
• Focuses on quads, glutes, core stability
• Builds athletic power and balance
• A must-have for strong, functional legs

💡 Pro Tip: Use the trap bar if you want a safer lift for your spine and more posterior chain activation. For best results? Train both.
