“Decades ago, guys used to do deadlifts by putting the bar behind them. This allowed for a very upright position, which meant a great degree of knee flexion had to happen in order to get into position. This meant that due to execution, the quads got a great deal of work.


To get the same effect, use the trap bar deadlift. To make it more of a quad movement, raise your heels. This will automatically put you in a very upright position and create a mechanical position where the hips aren’t as loaded as they would be with conventional deadlifts.


For those with bad knees or achy hips, this is a very joint-friendly exercise that can be used for both heavy progressive overload or high-rep death sets”. - T Nation
