rack pulls vs full ROM deads

[MOD]

which do you feel is superiour for upper back devopment?

I think rack deads would do that better, as you are able to pull insane amounts of weight, using just your back.

Deadlifts will build all of you though.

However, they are two very different exercises.

They both are used for two different purposes.

i don't know which is superior.....but snatch grip rack deads hit my lats quite nicely.

 

[MOD]

what are each of their purposes louden_swain?

Just do a set of each. For powerlifting, rack deads help you blast through your sticking point. Just set the bar height at wherever you tend to stall in a full deadlift, and your deads should take off.
