RE: Throwback to my powerlifting days

in #life7 years ago

Thanks. Yes, I used to do heavy rack pulls. My best was 300kg / 660 lbs from below the knees.
I agree that’s it’s the best upper back exercise. It did actually help a lot with my deadlift because I got used to carrying a lot weight, so dropping down to a lower weight from the floor seemed easy.

Yeah, usually knee level or below and you get more carry over; anything above the knee has less carry over. But I get what you're saying and you're probably right, if not at least from a psychological point of view, holding some heavy ass weight even for a short ROM makes pulling from t he floor seem easier.
