Rack Pulls= Lower or Upper Body vertical?

[Leatherface]

Since alot of leg movement is taken out of the equation when setting the pins at knee level, would you classify Rack Pulls as a lower or upper body vertical movement?

Upper

Could be both. I'd go with upper or back day, but I wouldn't consider it an upper body vertical pulling movement for push/pull balance. Military press and rack pulls don't balance each other out.

What category would you lump it into Witchblade?

 

[kinkery]

I'd say its for Back....

 

[Double D]

Depending where your pins are set. But most of the time I would say its more back.

 

[P-funk]

i still put it with lower body.

Eventhough it works your back a lot, a rack pull doesn't balance out vertical pressing movements so I'd put it with the hip dominant lower body exercises.

You are still moving at the hips and knees, I say lower.

Oh no, not this again. mike456 (what happened to him) wouldnt shut up about this.

Yeah thats true. However, putting it on a back/pull day wouldnt be uncalled for, due to the nature of this specific exercise.

I still have never done it... I wonder if theyd really help. I can see them not getting too far with shitty grip strength.
