What about a trap bar deadlift to keep strength up?

I believe that it’s far easier to get someone to safely Trap DL big numbers versus safely SQ big numbers. I’ve often thought about this with younger athletes, particularly in season. I know there could be more stress on the posterior chain, but wouldn’t it be an easier way to go?

If his back is that bad, I would stay away from all deadlift variatons.
