Re: Squats and Deadlifts

What is the difference between a DL and a rack pull? Why do one and not the other? It seems like the rack pull is just a poor mans version of the DL.

The idea is to eliminate the first stage of the DL which works the hamstrings the hardest, and focus on the second stage which works the muscles of the lower back the hardest.

I should have mentioned this as well. A lot people hit deadlilfts on back day. If they've already trained legs hard earlier in the split, they will often do rack pulls instead of deadlifts to remove the emphasis from the hams and glutes.
