Full Article: Build Tree-Trunk Quads With Deadlifts []
The heels-elevated trap bar deadlift places more tension on the quads while also reducing low-back strain. This is a knee-dominant way to deadlift. The more hip-dominant the deadlift, the less knee-dominant and vice versa. So, a sumo deadlift is more knee-dominant than a conventional deadlift.
If we were to place deadlifts on some kind of continuum from most to least hip-dominant, they’d look like this:
• Most Hip-Dominant: Romanian Deadlift
• Moderately Hip-Dominant: Conventional Deadlift
• Less Hip-Dominant: Basic Trap Bar Deadlift
• Least Hip-Dominant: Sumo Deadlift
