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.

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"

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?
