it'll help your squat and deadlift.

it'll teach you to use leg drive off the floor. So, when the pulls get heavy w/ straight bars, you're not stiff legging it off the floor. With a trap bar, if you don't squat down and use leg drive for it, then you're fucked.

Plus, they feel a lot more natural than straight bar pulls.

I guess it doesn't really matter though. If you're pulling heavy of any sort, it's all good. Just thought it would be a fun race.
