Hexbar deadlifts arent true deadlifts, and some say are more like squats.

Thinking of it like that, It doesnt come anywhere near the squat in effectivness IMO. It wouldnt be a bad alternative if you dont have a squat rack tho.

Maybe someone has actually done them, and can give you a better response.

Status: offline 		our coach used to have us do those, and in my opinion they are extremely ineffective and the bar would often rub up against the back of my legs and rip out hairs. Smile
