This is a wonderful sketch done by one of my fave artists  badcoyote during a live charity live stream he was holding to support wildlife charities in Australia devastated by the recent wildfires.

I asked for a piece of my guy doing deadlifts with a trap bar, because irl the trap bar deadlift is my favorite workout (it puts me at the center of the lift as opposed to essentially leaning forward, which is difficult for my balance since I still have a bit of a gut on me that can make me lean forward too much lol) and so to have a pic of my guy doing his thing on my fave workout is just wonderful and I love it!

Irl I'll unfortunately need to start doing conventional deadlifts more often since I've begun running out of room to put weights on the trap bar. I can't even clamp the ends, because there's simply no room, even for old school squeeze clamps which barely fit onto the ends lol. I'm about to bypass a 495 lbs 1rm, and once I exceed that, I won't be able to use the trap bar as often since the bars on either end are not long enough. It's what my old high school theater teacher would have called "A wonderful problem to have!"

I will hopefully be able to find or simply weld my own trap bar someday with extra long handles to be able to continue my fave workout. I'm never going to stop doing trap bar deadlifts, I just love them so much, as well as preforming farmers carries at 400+ lbs haha!
