nate's rack pull PR

[bignate73]

so today was back to rack pulls. motivated by the recent near 1000 pull i saw a week ago (no names....TB). i checked my book to see where i left off the last time i did em.

edit: rack pull from knee cap ht, raw, no belt, wraps, just rosin on my hands.
got up to short of my previous PR w/365 (PR was 375), then went 385 (PR), 405(PR),....and finished with a strong 415(BIG PR). could have had 425, but was pressed for time.

i guess the zerchers and GM's are paying off.

good job bor

 

[from zero]

That's no joke bro. Great work.

 

[bignate73]

im gunning for 500 soooon! and 405 from the floor.

 

[Mike_Rojas]

You monster! I think you and I are very close - I just maxed 350 on the deadlift

 

[bignate73]

yeah we are real close! from the floor i left off at 355 conventional about 2 weeks ago.

Great job. Deads are just fun.

RJL, your new avatar is creeping me out. I'm afraid your nose might fall off and drop onto my keyboard.

congrats bro, dimmel deads and pull throughs are great for your lower back try them, and youll hit an easy 405. from your post i assume you are going to pull conventional. ever try sumo??

 

[bignate73]

i pull both, my sumo is a little behind my conventional, but i suspect its only because i havent tried them in a while. dimmel deads are interesting though i dont have them down. pull throughs are good too, i like them. i usually use bands for them on an off day.

btw.....haha.

 

[ffknight84]

i pull both too, depends on what im trying to accomplish, but usually higher reps i will do conventional, and lower sumo. It sux being 6'3

 

[louden_swain]

Good job Nate!!

I see you pulling 500 or better in the next few months.

Keep the calories rolling in bud.

 

[thebrute]

Okay, I gotta learn the dimmel deads...haven't tried those yet. Anyone have a quick link to a vid? I like pull throughs with bands, despite the stares.

Louden...don't worry about the calories...he's getting plenty from birthday cake, sushi, cookies, etc!

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

nice job. I've just added rack deads into my routine, i can't wait to start them. gotta love deads.

 

[RusPA81]

Great job Nate. Thats some serious weight.

nice man

do you think that doing rack pulls helps your dead from the floor? i just added them in my rotation last week

 

[leatherface]

good job man. I just started doing rack pulls myself not too long ago

Cool, kinda looks like what I would call a "hang" deadlift.

The clanging sound is really throwing me off though! What is your set up...sounds like you are hitting the bottom of a rack when you lock out...but I can't see the rack in position. Am I imagining things?

 

[Nonerz]

upon further review of your vid...it must be from the bar hitting your quads...at least I think so!

yes maam, thats what spatts referred to once as "f#$%ing the bar".

 

[Nonerz]

yaaay...that sounds like FUN! I can't wait to try it out...maybe tonight baby? oh, wait...nevermind!

 

[bignate73]

ABSOLUUUULY!

 

[spatts]

...oh, I referred to it more than once, dear.

The key with Dimel's has and always will be visualization...

 

[bignate73]

i dont think i need to incorporate dimels as a gym lift.......

 

[Nonerz]

or wherever you else you feel the urge...

 

[thebrute]

nice man

do you think that doing rack pulls helps your dead from the floor? i just added them in my rotation last week

hell yea the do. when i did 855 on them i was able to do a easy 633 suited and off the floor. there is a carryover to the floor deads!! tb

 

[young guns]

so what's the big difference between dimels and rack pulls? both have the pins set right about knee height or a little lower right?

 

[spatts]

Dimels are to rack pulls as lock outs are to pin/board presses.

good parallel comparison
