I roll it in because I can't get down to the bar without doing it that way.
Care work??? I pull deads, do back ext, kettle bell p[ull throughs and some abs.
I don't do rack pulls but I have to start.
The reason I asked about core work was the way you slowed down when your trunk started straightening out.
Ever try good mornings and heavy Roman sit ups?
Just throwing some stuff out there for you is all.
As far as the rack deads go, if you can do them where you can adjust the height, you will love them. For me, I have to stack up stuff to stand on to change the height. lol
Since you do sumo style, I'm not going to be a whole lot of help. However, the different heights you work the weight from will hit you in different places. Below the knee works more hip drive and timing. At the knee works more upper back and your finish. I like to hit the upper back with rack deads. At the end of the movement, I like to squeeze the weight with my traps...helps me finish the dead.
Like I said, just throwing some thoughts at you.
I'm nothing spectacular. I have pulled 600 conventional in shorts and a tee shirt @ 230lbs. That's my best. Like I said, it's nothing special though. Lots of folks on here do lots more than me.
