why deadlift from the floor? - 04 May 2008 19:51
seems to me the most dangerous part of a deadlift is the part where you get just off the floor and your back could round.

is there any mileage in raising the par about 1 foot using the lowest setting in a power rack and deading off that height?

or would this mean i turn into a stick insect?

You'd turn into a haggard old crow with a particular preference for pickled pilchards. How dare you doubt the almighty dead lift.

SO by starting a foot up, essentially removing the lift part. Would it just be called dead??

Rack pulls?

I think thats what they're called.

Personally I think this testicle tenderness is due to my recent return to AM cardio. I do it naked on a recumbent bike and my gonads tend to flop about.

well youd still have a large range of motion to move through, perhaps the most important part still too?

Do it with proper form and it's fine, increase the height and it becomes a rack pull of sorts, these are good for building lockout strength.

I'm pretty sure it becomes a rack pull rather than a row

No Gina - if you pull the bar towards your chest/abdomen it becomes a row.

However, if the rack is too high, it becomes "unracking the bar"

RE: why deadlift from the floor? - 04 May 2008 21:14
so is there any huge benefit for the bodybuilder in deadlifts over rackpulls?

If rackpulls are safer would it be an idea to do this instead?
