I may eventually use a trap bar for deadlifts, due to the scraping I get on my legs from proper form. I do like using straps for protecting my hands and reducing the amount of grip I need. I need my hands to be not super calloused for work, and they don't recover as fast as they used to. I can also focus more on my back form which I believe is where you tend to injure yourself in a deadlift.
I took today off from workout. I think days off from consistent working out tends to help with recovery as well. Just did a lot of walking and a fast until 12 today.
The trap bar really changes the movement and brings the quads into it more, and reduces the involvement of the upper and lower back.
