RACK PULL IS SUPERIOR TO DEADLIFT

8 PLATE & 2.5 POUND RACK PULL ONE REP MAX 770 POUNDS: ERIC KIM INSANELY EPIC LIFTS

My muscles show it!

Also —

A lot of people who do standard deadlift are impressed by 6 plates, 7 plates, etc. Yet when they see me do 8 plates (and then some) for rack pull, their mind is totally blown.

Therefore the benefits of rack pull:

  1. Superior muscular development for biceps, back, traps, legs, etc.
  2. You can lift more weight, which is MORE impressive.
  3. Also easier to load up the weight when your barbell is already elevated, instead of the annoyance of loading it up on the bottom.
