did rack deadlifts... did`nt really like em

[gonelifting]

I was so looking forward to them too. It was my first time. Maybe I went too heavy. not sure. Now I realise also that you gotta set the bar down after each rep, correct? I did`nt do that.

I`m trying to do a new split working out same bodyparts 3times in 2 weeks. It`s not really working out too well but I`ll give it a chance.

My thighs are all scratched up from the knee up. I doubt the form was right. I don`t have a video clip. sorry. I kept feeling I was leaning forward too much, but I never have a problem when doing regular deads. I`ll give it another shot maybe or just scrap them,my lower back hurts more than my upper/trap area.

They were akward for me at first, but you'll get used to it!!!

Where do you set the pins? I had them just above the knees.

I actually put them at the lowest setting so it's only like 6 inches from the floor!!!

You know what they say, "Practice makes perfect"!!!

After my sets I did a regular set from the floor and it felt SO MUCH better. Like you said maybe I gotta get used to it. time will tell. But I also gotta look at some clips too, I think., revex`s clips are helping.

I don't like them. I do reverse band deads instead.

The good thing that came out of it was. My grip did`nt give out with 405 pounds 4reps. I had`nt thought about it untill now. silver lining. lol Never went that high so I learned something about myself.

The problem with rack pulls is that it puts you in awkward positions that you are never in during a real pull.
