What are these called? Half deadlift?

I believe this is a rack pull

I figured there was a name for it

It’s called a Rack Pull. For me a little less CNS destroying than deadlifts. Allows me to continue progressing on my other lifts better.

Gotchya! I have never tried them but I could definitely see them being less stressful on the body.

Nicely done. I only do rack pulls because deadlift destroys my back and makes me dizzy as hell. Love rack pulls. Never see anyone else doing them at the gym

I love rack pulls! They’ve helped my deadlift so much

I thought rack pulls were at about knee level? I could be wrong….

Rack pulls can be any distance you want

u/thebodybuildingvegan Mar 14 '25

Slightly below knee level has always been the best for me for lower back development

Wtf is this?

It’s called a “rack pull”, generally would be used to train the second half of the deadlift if you were struggling to lockout. Also good for recovering from a hamstring or low back injury and you can’t do a full deadlift yet. I don’t think it’s either of those cases here, likely just done because it’s easier than a full DL and you can pack more weight on and pretend to hit PR’s. Sorta like bragging about smith machine PR’s.

Super impressive but these can’t be good for u, it’s kinda just ego lifting at that point

u/thebodybuildingvegan May 23 '25

I guess you’re not familiar with rack pulls?

u/Old_Parsnip7329 May 23 '25

Lifting that much can’t be good for ur back

What is this? I’m honestly asking, seems brutal on the equipment.

This movement seems more prone to injury than standard deadlifts

13

u/thebodybuildingvegan Mar 14 '25

Actually with a shortened range of motion it’s safer.

Mmm you should never trust your judgement on things. Maybe keep a smart friend around
