Thread: Dead Rack Pulls?

They're beneficial if your sticking point is mid-shin or higher.

I think there a great exercise and diffenately better then doing no type of deads

I agree. Of course, full ROM will always be king in my book, but like devildog said, they can be very beneficial if it helps you through your sticking point.

rack deads are very helpful. It is no different then doing something like cleans from a hang position. You are working your weakest point of the lift by breaking it down and focusing on that area.

I just started doing these. Any way to hit the traps more?

Thay are a great exercise and will definately help with back thicknessand width,as well as make your spinal erectors strong as hell.
