what do rack pulls work? just the back? (similar to deadlifts?)

[schroedboss]

You had to tie fucking dumbells on it hahaha holy shit.

[jmaths117]

f*ckin Nick Best, crazy sh*t.

[phaquetoob]

poor power rack :(

[mrslick58]

my back hurts

[blankmj91]

Yeah you know you're a boss when you tie dumbells to bar for additional weight

[TAryn27able]

@blankmj91: LOL you know!! This guy is a beast he has my respect all day. strength and dedicated training.

[swifttiga]

i like how dumbells are attached, plates aren't enough LOL

[Naps2222]

LOL. aint enough plates in the gym... so this beast has to use a couple of dumbbells to increase the weight. MAD PROPS ANYWAY. crazy strength.

[Issaquan5]

That'll move the chains. Yep.

[bambarby]

I didn't know those little bars can hold up all that weight lol

[eyesack9]

I bet later when they were closing the workers were like "WHY THE HELL IS THIS BAR BENT?"

[millec60]

Damn dude, that is impressive. You are one strong dude!

[Grummski]

I have to ask - what are the state of the bars and pins like at your gym after you've given them a beating lol?

[982Munchie]

The additional db's slung underneath the plates kinda says it all. This is freaky ninja-lifting death-defying stuff!

[tempac91]

So it is you who took al the plates and I can't work out!

[supersayanhulk4]

I wana be u wen i grow up lol Im gna keep working harder week in week out

[bigboi71]

Good Stuff!

[TiN0350]

YEAAAAAA BUDDDAAYYY!!!

[KINGTERO8700]

baby shit

[nomitata]

i love doin deadlifts....untill i fucked up my lower back...disc problem...now i cant do any heavy lifts that involves lower back mostly...

[MetaIhead89]

@nomitata might as well wear the weightlifting belt

[jimi1999uk]

omg. I thought this was going to be one of these 1 inch range of motion rack pulls. It was not. That was beastly. lol @ dumbell attached to BB. Noone else in the gym could workout because of uyou stealling all the plates from 3 gyms prob :)

[slauge]

That bar sure can take a lot of punishment!

[tlast2O12dude]

can you do that without straps? at least for 1 rep?

[MultiTrollHunter]

Are they dumbells tied to the bar? Thats fuckin badass!!!

[cyberkai99]

Nice lifting man, but I really wished you would drop the weight at the top. It looks badass to watch a bar flop around like that and I can't yet lift enough weight to see it happen.

[Cambria2007]

that bar was tapping out!

[hardedgecustom]

all hail!!!

beast!!!

[KiloByte69]

Sick.

[athleteforlife22]

thought the bar was gonna snap there!

[Robertthebob]

Awesome lift, love me some rack pulls.

[dack1337]

do you get the same benefits from rack pulls ass deadlifts? or what is better in your opinion?

[eveningninja]

@dack1337 Rack pulls are a good way to work on the upper portion of your Deadlifts (the lockout phase). They're also great for switching things up a bit and just lifting tons of freaking weight. However, unless you're at the point where your Deadlifts are pretty damn heavy already and you are stalling out (not due to having a crappy diet or needing periodization in your routine), I'd say just stick with Deadlifts for the most part. If you have to ask, then IMO you'd be better off doing DL's.

[georgyporgyspie]

Unbelievable! I've been doing these in my workout but I'm one of those odd people that can't lift as much as I can off the floor. Do you know why that is and what I can do about it? What bodyparts are you training with this exercise?

[strongiwan]

amazing!!!

[FEINS1]

Dayumm Nick, you made 1040lbs look like 104lbs!!! I feel as weak as a kitten. Great stuff.

[NickBestProStrongman]

Thanks, but after watching you do 1005 I wouldn't say you weak as a kitten at all, more like strong as a bull! Try useing sweat pants as you do them. It will help the bar slide up your legs without tearing off all the skin.

Nick

[FEINS1]

Coming from you I take that as a huge compliment and thanks for the advice. Hope u do get an invite to the Arnold. I know u have unbeaten world records in strongman events, maybe the powers that be r afraid u'll deflate a few egos at the Arnold??

[steelcurtain1986]

I use baby powder for deadlift/rack pulls but you obviously dont need my help lol. good lifting brother

[agentbobbarker]

@FEINS1 Haha wtf are you talking about 'weak as a kitten' you did a 1000lb+ rack -pull. Doing anything with 1000+lbs means your strong.

[Doenitz79]

Wow,the bar looked like it would snap anytime...Good job Nick!

[ikollass]

I can't stop watching this. He just bangs out 5 reps with over an old ton and then walks away like he's just done a warmup set. Wtf?

[NickBestProStrongman]

Thanks, I have been doing this execise for over a decade now and my body is conditioned for it. Tell you what if I ever get invited to the Arnold I will do some damage in the hummer tire DL. LOL the bar bends so much that it hits my legs just like my rack pulls when it comes off the ground.

Nick

[ikollass]

i c u've got a deadlift suit on underneath your clothes. why use the suit for rack pulls from knee and why put it on underneath the clothes? obviously, the suit assists the lift but why try to hide it? if that actually is 1000lbs then u r one hellishly strong mofo even with the suit on.

[NickBestProStrongman]

Sorry, no suit on under my clothes! Just shorts, keeps my legs from getting the skin rubbed off while doing the lift.

[ikollass]

Well, you're not human then. Wearing a suit wouldn't really explain it anyway. How the fuck did you do 5 rep rack pulls from the knees with 1040lbs? There must be some catch. Come on, out with it???

[DrewGymRat]

wow. dude u must scare the heck out of people. strong back!!

[ewanmethane]

Insane!

[Iceman1800]

Wow, you had to tie db's onto the weights? awesome lifting sir
