    Default full deadlifts vs knee deadlifts

    what do you think are better to build thinkness in the lower back. deadlifts from the floor or deadlifts in a power rack till the bar is right under your knees?

    with proper form and under control as well.

    Most people don't execute them properly/try to break strength records during a workout and end up hurting themselves.

    I use both movements in my routine.
    Both have advantages. I think the floor deads are probably better for overall back development. I like the rack deads because I can go really heavy and take my legs out of the movement.

    Couldnt agree more...Both exercises have their advantages and place in a workout. an if you rally want to get froggy try super setting them. During my shock week i'll super set them. start at 135 for 8 and keep adding 45's. By 315 im toast and begging to be done.....

    I do both, mostly full, but every other workout or so, I do heavy partials in the rack with very heavy weights.

    Full deads when done properly are superior to anything else. The problem is doing them right. I thought I was doing them right all this time until I saw a deadlift instructional video. Here all this time I thought I was riding my shins (cause I have the scars and shit to prove it) all the time and I wasnt. Somehow, somewhere I started setting up AT the knee and shin but as I lifted I defocused on the lift and started focusing on just getting the damned thing up. THAT made me start leaning too far forward and not riding my shins like I thought. No wonder my deads weren't progressing steadily and my back was killing me afterwards.

    Ok the point of all that is now Im dead set on focusing on the technique of the lift instead of just getting the weight up, so I make damned sure i FEEL that bar along my legs. The results? 425 for three reps tonight at a weight of 172. Might not mean much, but a couple of months ago I could barely do 385. AND I feel them all over my back, not just the lower. Lats, spinal erectors, traps - everything.

    Full deads ftw.

    Rack pulls are a great way to overload you back though. I feel pulling from the floor in my low back, glutes, and hams more than rack deads. Both are great.

    Full deads are the king of mass building movements BUT if its mainly back thickness rack deads are also great because 1) you could pull more weight 2) less glute and hamstring involment.

    there's no questions about it. for me its all full deads. I felt that rack deads really suck for me. never felt good with the movement.

    rack deads are just a way to gain strengh.

    I like the full dead. when you dead from a rack you place a lot of stress on the l4 and l5 disk in the back . if you were to rupture the disk ( i have) you can have a lot of leg pain and foot numbness. keep the abs tight at all times during the deadlift try not to stay to long in the mid range of the movement. you should do just fine.
