 Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq | ....block pulls, rack pulls etc. do you do them as an assist exercise alongside full deadlifts? or do you do them instead as they are so demanding? obvious reason for doing them is poor lock out. | ||

 Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | I find they are more demanding on the lower back but much less demanding on everything else. I do them as assistance (18inches). | ||

OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 15.07.2014 @ 09:42 AM by MarkClegg Depends where your failpoint is mate ..If you go for a 2.5kg P.B where are you most likely to fail the pull ?? I`m a massive fan of this type of work it is responsible for around 25kg of my RAW P.B . Edit - RackPulls = NO NO dont bother with them . Block Pulls for the win . | ||

Block Pulls for the win . well that's lucky as a pair of adjustable blocks have just arrived! most likely to fail from about two-thirds of the way up to lock out. | ||

Block Pulls for the win . Too much pressure on the back/elbows when it hits the racks? I do partial deadlifts for grip. I don't fail at the top, but get paranoid about my grip giving up. | ||

I don't fail at the top, but get paranoid about my grip giving up. Rack pulls are more likely to f**k the bar up! That's why I've done partial deadlift in the past too. Had good success recently with DOH axle too, still taxes the grip but with way less weight. Much less demanding and easier to recover from. | ||

I can knock off about 70-80kg from my deadlift this way, and I consider my grip to be much better than my deadlifts. MUCH less taxing on the CNS. Do you use chalk with these? | ||

MUCH less taxing on the CNS. Do you use chalk with these? Yeah I use chalk. I started at 70kg and worked up in triples with 10kg jumps, then switched to singles when I didn't think I could make 3 reps. Next session was the same but tried to go up by 5kg, nothing complex. Found it was a good way to work on my weakness while still leaving me fresh enough for 2 decent squat sessions a week. | ||

 Member 2785, 205 posts SQ 300, BP 170, DL 335805.0 kgs @ 168kgs UnEq | the top of my deadlift is awful, so ive been doing these on a monday along with my upper back assistance work, then deadlifting on a friday from the floor. worked a treat. | ||

Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq | cool, so the consensus is def block pulls rather than rack pulls and to do them as well as full deadlifts but perhaps on a different day? | ||

 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4716 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | newhybrid said:cool, so the consensus is def block pulls rather than rack pulls and to do them as well as full deadlifts but perhaps on a different day? Block pulls OR floor deadlifts (not both in a particular week/ session) worked best for myself | ||
