In my experience people only like the hex because they can throw around more weight. I used to be the same way, but correct deads hit the back 10X better then hex deads IMO.
agreed... think about it in a scientific matter. Physically, the weight is front heavy.. and when you do deadlifts, your lower back is positioned towards the back side. This means your lower back has to do that much more work to pull up the weight which your body is hanging onto on the frontside.
