he probably does both, rack pulls and deadlifts are both great exercises

i dont think it really matter if you use straps on deads. Deadlifts are a lower back exercise, if u use straps on your heavy sets u can work ur lower back harder. It doesnt matter if u cheat ur forearms out slighty. You should train forearms on there own anyway. However wearing lifting gloves the whole time, unless ur pulling insane (and i mean insane!) weights, is just pussy.

@sdfefdeThat's all you got? 'Yo fuck you faggot.' lol. C'mon bro, it's 2012, come up with somethin knew. I actually stopped wearing my gloves cause they were giving me a rash and I ripped up my hands while deadlifting 405. So obviously, YOU don't lift more than 225, because if you were lifting serious weight, you would be wearing gloves. There's no point in not wearing gloves if you're lifting heavy weights. I want to strengthen my muscle. Not the skin on my hand.

@saulhudson420 stfu faggot you barely get callous on your hands , im 100% sure you barely dead 225 with gloves ,straps and mixed grip , faggot

@lemonme123 Wearing gloves doesn't make you a pussy. If you're lifting respectable weight, you're going to need them. I pump iron to tear up my muscle, not to build callous on my hands. Besides, woman don't like rough hands ;)

@lemonme123 No it's not pussy in my opinion to wear gloves while deadlifting. Although I think it is pussy to wear gloves for all lifts. My calluses always rip off while doing deadlifts so I wear gloves while deadlifting to prevent them from ripping off. Also if my calluses rip of while deadlifting my other lifts suffer because they are bleeding and it stings as fuck to grip a bar with open sores on the hand.

@Bsure12345 yes and no. I think this is the upper limit of what I call a rack pull. you're right anyways, mostly they are done below the knee caps, but a lot of athletes (including me) have their "sticking points" above the knee caps, and thats the reason for the high bar position.

[Bsure12345]

Hardly a rack pull, the starting point is well above the knee! this is more of a row/shrug hybrid exercise, cant call it grip work either because he is using straps. Rack pulls are from 1" to 4" BELOW the knee.

@lemonme123 i only deadlift about 264 pounds and i use lifting gloves, u mad?

@masterfaceblaster1 They are, when they are done from the knees at really heavy poundage they work mostly grip, traps and a bit of your lower back. Most that tend to do a version of the deadlift like this would tend to go from mid shin like DY did

[masterfaceblaster1]

I thought normally rack pulls were done a bit below or at knee level. Good stuff nonetheless.
