Default Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

a lot of people do rack pulls from blocks or something on the floor. You could stack maybe 4-5 45's and do below the knee rack pulls. Personally I think that rack pulls are decent if you have some lower body ( hamstring issues ) and don't want to drop a lot of pulling power while you are rehabbing an injury . Different trains of thought on this.
But I am a big believer in never straying from the Big 3. Pull from the floor, bench from a flat bench and squat to parallel. After you do those, than for some assistance you can do something else. Just my two cents.

Good lifts this morning. Bench, Squat and Hang Cleans. Good depth on the squat at 305, and a good bench at 190 (tie PR). I still think I might not be doing the damn cleans right.
