![]() ![]() ![]() If you're using the rack or block pull to build a stronger upper back then you still want to stick to the rule of not using loads well beyond the scope of what you can deadlift from the floor. These are all the most common issues with guys using block or rack pulls, which is why I say it's something you probably shouldn't be doing to improve your deadlift. and especially using a load greater than 10% of your deadlift max, or training the block/rack pull starting at your sticking point with the regular deadlift. Not if you're training the rack or block pull in a dissimilar position than you'd be in with your regular deadlift. "But isn't that what I did with using rack pulls?" That's how you'll eventually crush that plateau. Now get stronger in that part of the range of motion. If you want to defeat a sticking point, find a way to make that movement more difficult in the area preceding it. It's the few inches before the sticking point where you're not able to generate enough power (the speed at which you can move the load) to get through the sticking point. The problem area isn't the sticking point itself. So why doesn't it work since it's intended to strengthen a sticking point? Newsflash: Training your sticking point at the sticking point itself is pointless.
