Straight deads or high pulls for better overall mass

What do you guys think, deads or high pulls for better overall mass?

Deads!

Deads are a strength exercise and high pulls are a power exercise.

If I could do only one it would have to be deads.

I'd vote for high pulls if done correctly.

yes.
















alternate them to see gains in both.

DL will recruit more fibers and use more muscles but high pulls will enable you to use more weight

How can you high pull more than you can deadlift?

think of high pulls as speed work for a deadlift.

The main issue is that the dead can be very taxing. You aren't wedded to one or the other. Having both is the best of all worlds.

I want to run another 5x5 cycle once this one is completed and i love deads and i love high pulls bc i used to olympic lift, and was wondering if i should swap deads for high pulls or just stick with deads. I guess im getting a little ahead of myself, but im just constantly thinking about training, lol.

Choose the one you like most or the one you haven't done in the longest. I'm also a fan of all types of pulling so I can empathize with your situation. That said, I find myself more bummed at having to ignore dynamic pulling for 8-9 weeks than having to ignore deads. Just personal preference.
