Best Assistance Lifts for Each Main Lift

How do you feel about the trap bar for carries?

Infinitely better than dumbbells. Still less than ideal compared to a real set of handles (for some reason, no one can really seem to move fast with a trap bar, and I’m thinking it’s just the design of it), but you can load it heavy enough to really get something out of it.
