Trap Bar Training: History ... Workouts ... Tips and Techniques

by John Wood, John Wood

Now, a lot of things have been written about the Trap Bar over the years and much of it is very useful, but to my knowledge no one has covered it in great detail, or for that matter, talked to Al Gerard directly to learn his side of the story. These are two of the biggest reasons for the training course you are now holding in your hands. Throughout the following pages we will be covering a variety of topics on the Trap Bar...how it came about...how Al Gerard has trained with it... some of the mistakes he made with his training... what worked... and why the Trap Bar is such an effective piece of training equipment. We will start things off with an interview with Al Gerard himself. As I mentioned previously, I don't believe that anyone has ever talked to Al directly about the history of the Trap Bar and this is a unique look at the real story as it unfolded. Throughout the interview, Al also provides a lot of great training advice so you are going to want to make sure to take plenty of notes. More importantly, you can take many of the tips and techniques that Al shares and start doing them right away in your workouts.
