Hexbar or barbell for deadlifts?

Hex bar allows you to use a neutral grip, like dumbbells, but also lets you stack on the weight like a barbell.

I'm shredded lmfao. Stupid dyel

Hex bar is higher, so it's easier. You also don't need grip or wrist strength. It's typically used by women for deadlifts

Hex bar unless you’re competing (and even then use hex to push PR). Hex is fucking better across the board in every way. I fucking hope it never catches on so I don’t have to buy my own to bring because there’s only one at my gym.

Confirmed fatbod

Can't you just flip it around?

Basically this. Hexbar is the absolute best tool for shoulder shrugs and basically that's all it's good for

Mmhmmm... post bodies boys. This is /fit/ now.

Ah, which one is better for you? Or, more efficient..?

Not sure what the idealized qualities are when selecting a workout method. But if we determine those then we can rank each on various categories and compare their sum totals.

Have sex

Just do whatever.

If i qualified for APA worlds in 75kg

if you cant do a proper deadlift with a barbell you will never make it.

Oh, I don't workout. I'm just really interested in categorizing and comparing things and OP seemed curious about which was better.

I already explained it. Hexbar is for shrugs and people that can't hold a bar.

I don't really know what those things mean... and if hexbars are for people who cannot hold bars, why are they called hexBARs...?

I'm a 6'5 lanklet with 0 (ZERO) muscle mass and a bad lower back.
Are there any lifts or exercises I can do to build up a bit of strength without killing myself in the process?

it doesn't fucking matter bro. probably hexbar if all you're looking for in your programming is the hinge movement pattern. if you're more comfortable pulling conventional or if you enjoy pulling conventional more do that. the most important part of exercise selection is personal preference.

>Ah, which one is better for you? Or, more efficient..?

these are very silly questions. There is no default, standard human therefore there is rarely a standard answer as to what exercise is better for the individual. Your arm, torso and leg length are probably different than my own so biomechanically what I exercises I can safely load heavy & lift with good form are going to be different from you. What injuries you may have, your degree of flexibility and other factors play into this as well.

Black and white "x is better than y" thinking can be literally crippling for one's fitness pursuits. The worst kind of advice you can get is from someone with limited fitness knowledge who learned about 4 lifts and has no curiosity whatsoever to learn more. i think the only exercise I always program for people is the barbell squat, either getting them to the point where they can squat or having them do it.

just lift light things, and work your way up to heavier things.
if you do it properly it wont kill you.

pro powerlifters get injured from time to time, and they basically just start over and work back to a competitive lift, so its not impossible to fix your back.

Look at the shape user. It's hexagonal.

Looks like it's time to kill some nerds in this board

my right leg always sticks out when I do lifts, but I don't feel any pain. Will this cause me problems in the future? Also happens with squats btw.

Based autist.

I'll provide you some information to assist you in the exercise.

When squatting, after a certain point the weight is so heavy that it's harder to hold on to the bar while lifting than it is to actually lift the bar. Hexbars let you use an 'easier' grip so you don't need as much grip strength to hold onto the bar, which lets you squat higher weights.

As for which is better - squatting is a lower body exercise for working out your legs and ass and lower back and suchlike. It's not a forearm exercise. If your forearm strength is getting in the way it's perfectly acceptable to eliminate it as an obstacle to working out your lower body - you should add a forearm exercise to your workout independently of squats.

Hexbars are objectively the superior exercise. However, they are not necessary until you reach the grip strength limitation that I have described.

>based autist
Yes! You are the person that I was looking for.

WALKING is KILLING your GAINS!

not video games

very objectively.
since you could lift sumo, conventional and still do shrugs with a barbel. you can only deadlift one way in a hexbar and still shrug.

though I'm a powerlifter so i've got a huge bias because i need to acquire 3 white lights for my glory.

a bodybuilder still has more options with a barbell.

on the topic of non video games related topics: my friend bought an RTX 2080 for 900€ the other day, while there's new RTX 2080 supers for less available. He's a big dummy right, please laugh at him, I'm gonna point him to this thread later

As someone who lifted long before discovering /fit/ I found it pretty useless and stopped going.
