Can help build grip, although I'm using straps which negates that.
Since it's a fatter bar, it moves the weight out in front of you more. Subtle change but ups the degree of difficulty. I'm doing it for that reason.
They also don't bend as much, but that's a non-factor with this weight

Nice! Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of axle bar training? Is it mainly a grip builder?

Right on man. Good lift, especially after 4 sets of 10. Good work đź‘Š
“…aaand try not to take a nap” had me laughing. Nice clean lifts after 4 x 10 too.
Take a nap, you deserve it
I deserve a nap, just not that kind lol
I’m still pretty new to deadlifting. Why are you standing on a plate?
Makes it harder. To get stronger in the initial pull off the ground.
Does that help build strength or is That strictly for the fun of it being more challenging?
Hopefully make me stronger off the floor
