You need to work a lot on the straight bar if you want/need to dial in form. Trap bar will help a ton with learning leg drive. It has it's place in training.

Straight, but the hex isn't junk either. It just takes your back out of the lift and it's almost more like a squat/dead hybrid. I use it from time to time.

I just use a straight bar but i aint super strong. I wish my gym had a hex bar. Had one in highschool and loved deadlifting with it.

Usually straight bar but started hex recently for something different.

Am I taking crazy pills? Why all this faux deadlift?

I use hex because I am so tall( 6’7” with 38 inseam)
Even with a sumo on straight bar deadlifts wind up being more of a back than posterior chain exercise for me

Straight bar and conventional. Puts hair on your chest.
