Question about Rack Deads/Presses/Bench's etc....

[evansss]

for those that do them, do you do them simply so the movement your mimicking strengthens on the lockout or to get stronger/more muscular overall... i don't know if that question made sense, but ill ask it anyway.

hope i understood enough but here we go i will try to answer.

Rack deads are a must IMO--rotate floor deads and rack dead below the knee ever other week. Rack lockouts are great for your bench and fry the triceps! Board presses are amazing as well nice pause then explode. Pause bench works weel and puase squats are awsome. Once again i will say this- Pullinbigs routine(and the rotuine he has laid out is all anyone would ever need IMO) is golden and works weather you are doing MMA\judo\sub wrestling football or just plain old bbing.
Its very similar to DC program w\more core work.

i'm not sure if i'm right on this part but I think rack deads lessen leg help and i think that goes the same for rack bench. i could be wrong

pretty much sums it up .
most people fail at lockout on deads if its a weight thats even close to reasonable for them to lift and they can break it from the floor , once the legs are mostly out of the lift and the back kicks in at lockout is when failure tends to happen . same with bench 3/4 to full lockout is where a lot of people fail . these excercises isolate those weaknesses and strengthen them .

Wierd...I fail deads typically less than 1/2 way up and only fail a bench at the very bottom. Same for squats..only at the very bottom.

squats is a little different lol . most shirted benches arent gonna fail at the bottom . if your failing at the knees you may be locking out your legs too soon or dropping your head down and or forward . pull up and back with your head and try not locking out yuour legs on your deads quite as soon and see how you do . please let me know , im curious .

IME, rack deads do absolutely zilch for a deadlift lock out. Same with board presses (at least for a raw bench). What I hav enoticed is by doing those weights you can do more weights and it gets your body used to the weight transfer. For BB-ing purposes I have noticed RDs put a good deal of mass on the back and board pressing is a good tricep movment.

You are right, i have self-assessed that i do lock-out too soon in comparison to those olympic lifters picking upwards 4 figures. I am deadlifting today pending my back is feeling good throughout the warm-ups
