Rack deadlifts, reverse grip benches

The rack deadlift, very simply is a deadlift that is done out of the powercage. You basically "rack" the bar on the pegs and deadlift it from there. It is also called a partial deadlift.

Reverse grip benches are just benches w/ an underhand grip. So instead of your nuckles pointing towards your head, the heal of your hand will.

Reverse grip bench is good, just be careful if you have no spot, because it is hard to unrack an appreciable weight without a spot. And if u can't use much weight, just might be a weakness that could be strengthened.

I like rev grip bench....WIDE. Reminds me of a wide grip BB row, only upside-down. Seems to hit my lats, though.
