Rackpulls are extremely underrated.

[@gorillone86]

TOTALLY💪🏼❗

[@Tray-ii6tv]

Keep em coming we miss John !💙

You’re the best John!

I like how a deadlift/row complex lights up my entire back. Fun to throw those in for a couple weeks. Rack pulls definitely have their place and feel even better

[@danski6694]

They certainly build your overall “back”. Hit your legs very nicely also. But yes as John states, there are better exercises for your lats exclusively.

[@akapabs108]

We miss you and love you John. I personally started doing rack pulls because of his suggestion.. think it's a great exercise.

[@mattlee3526]

[@anymouse6202]

I have been doing this since the first time I saw this. Great results.

[@BLS1976PACHAPTER]

The landmine deadlift is highly underrated exercise I found.

[@mac50001978]

gotta try this!

[@EslamAbdo1919]

Thank you

Don’t work deadlift to work your back but yes it does hit the lats. I try to focus on pushing through the floor to accentuate the incorporation of the glutes and hamstrings for deadlifts since you can so very easily isolate the back as intended.

[@mugshotmarley]

For me, deadlifts grew my lower and mid traps. Weirdly, its the only exercise where I can destroy my traps on. All those laying dumbell and cable rope face pulls kills my arms way more than my traps, regardless of position/angle.

[@SCW_Fitness]

I’ve pulled my lats doing heavy deadlifts so I have the belief that they do!

[@MHSenju3000]

Im currently doing RDLs in the hope they will strengthen my lower back

[@hanskazan7403]

Ofcourse they will

[@McAwsum52]

💪🏼👍🏼

[@hanskazan7403]

I dont train deadlifts to build my lats lol 😂 in do them on leg day just to get a strong body for lats i do pulldowns db rows etc

[@chrisnovellin9813]

Deadlifts get a bad name because it becomes more technical than most lifts and most people don't do it correctly. If your technique is off good luck. But if you practice and train the technique, and perform it correctly than deadlifts are money.

[@SalmanKhan-c2d7h]

Buty ❤❤❤❤❤

[@hermanuslambo7252]

Still mis HIM!

[@jasonwhite9225]

Who does DL thinking they will solely build lats? you are working on everything in your back. It's like saying "i don't get a good enough workout in my side delts doing an incline bench press so I will just remove it." It's not what the exercise is for. This is simple biomechanics and kinesiology. Even simple bro-science.

[@Game7Mode]

this aint it. so many other better ways to train lats. keep your deadlifts pure
