Somewhat similar to trap bar deads, I assume?

Anyone consistently perform dumbbell deadlifts? I find it difficult to use extremely large dumbbells, but it works. I use 100 lb- 110 lbs. I find it a good complement to regular deadlifts.
Anyone else find this exercise beneficial?
The trap bar keeps your hands out from your sides. Dumbbells can kinda run up and down your body later in the set.[/quote]
trap bars also focus more on your hamstring and glute development, they hit your spinal erectors less, at least in my opinion. Seems to me like most people can trap bar a decent amount more than they straight bar deadlift.

trap bar deadlifts focus more on your hamstrings? Don’t you mean quads?

It depends on where you bring your hands down to. The natural tendency is to go a bit forward which brings in the posterior chain more than if you make a conscious effort to bring your hands to your ankles in a squatting motion which definitely flames the quads.
