    Hex bar deadlifts on leg day

    I have found that the hex bar really works my legs way more and isn't as focused on my back. Is it a bad idea to incorporate hex bar deadlifts into my leg day and regular deadlifts for back day?

    thoughts?

    I find hex bar to work legs more too. Yeah you should be fine but if your back starts hurting/being more sore you might want to put a day between legs and back. I find a lot of leg things work back as well.

    Bro, you're killing me. Throw them out completely, don't waste your energy on a movement that isn't made for legs.
    The only reason you should be doing HEX DEADLIFTS is if you lack mobility to properly execute a CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFT.
    If you are just starting to learn deadlifts than hex might be acceptable for a little bit before progressing but not for a leg workout.
    Stick to the big, heavy, compound movements.
    Don't pray for lighter burdens but for stronger bodies.

    I see professional athletes doing hex bar deadlifts so they have to be good for something. I feel like my legs are seriously lacking and I wanted to add another exercise to help build them up
