Hey everyone, I was wondering what part of your deads rack pulls would help. I'd like to add them to my workouts jus for something different.
My other question is if your allowed to use a hook grip when in competition or do you have to stay with the double overhand grip. Im gonna start competing later this year (maybe),my bench is a little weak for my weight. I usually bench around the 380lbs range and I weigh 270 right now.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

competition = no gloves or straps, mixed grip is fine, GET CHALK!
as far as rack pulls, they help from the shins up...theyll help hip power thru lockouts, and the transition from floor to lockout
theyve been a HUGE help in my training

If you are weak around the top part of the deadlift, then rack pulls are your answer.

I haven't heard the term rack pulls but I'm new to powerlifting. But I built my deadlift up by doing half lifts every other workout. I would set the weight up about 3 inches from the ground and DL from there. It really helped my grip and confidence. Now I do just the reverse where I'll deadlift from a step about 3-5 inches from the floor. This has also helped me with starting my lifts off strong. I use a semi summo stance so I don't know if this advice will help you at all

Am I allowed to wear a support/brace around my wrist in powerlifting competitions?

Rack pulls are very helpful if you have difficult locking out the lift.

get in a power rack and set the safety bars so the barbell is around your shins. Then deadlift to lockout, lower the weight and repeat.Originally posted by rippednshredded
