Why I Love Rack Pulls

Rack Pulls are UNDERRATED for hypertrophy! Builds a thick back and gorilla glutes. You DON'T need to pull from the floor if you're not a Powerlifter.

When we needed him most he came back, its 2016 alex updated

[magicman]

Rack pulls above the knee was a wild era

[claybowman]

Taking a public speaking class has made me realize your videos are organized like a speech and are delivered like one. Underrated skill, speaking is so hard but when done right looks effortless

"Rack pulls are so safe I can't even f*cking believe how safe it is." ~Alex Leonidas 2017, doing 600 lb+ rack pulls with back pain problems... I will never forget it

Next video will be "Why I love buffets"

[BasementBodybuilding]

Underrated, and overhated movement. Can’t wait to watch this one

[lewisstrongofficial]

Yoooo this is Alex from AlphaDestiny here with another full body workout. Today we’re starting with the rack pull above the knee working up to a max with the max effort method.

[fluff]

Never clicked faster with that 2016 nostalgia

[GVS]

Had another content creator try to convince me that these didn't work the back.



I guess that soreness and long term dense thickness from adding them in was just in my imagination!

[coacheugeneteo]

I gotta bring these back into my routine. Snatch grip above knee rack pulls are king 🫡

[MohamedNaas]

Racks around the world have been waiting for this

[rsouchereau]

AN Rack Pulls literally gave me 90% of my trap gains. Weighted stretch was ahead of the times!!!

[PATRICKMARCUCCI]

Stretched position on the traps has led to a lot of gains for me. Especially with farmer carries. But I definitely get some fatigue from the farmer carries. Thanks so much for the great content!

[asdfghzxcvbn]

Yow this is your man Alex from Alphadestiny. Welcome back another fullbody workout…

[kevinrice]

Respect for standing by rack pulls even when a bunch of other big influencers are talking shit on em.

[kundachikwamba]

woah woah woah, Rack Pulls? the nostalgia hits hard here. I've never had issues pulling from the floor, but I cannot wait to reintroduce the movement in September, good work Alex!

[hk]

THE most underrated channel on youtube

[TimKersten_]

ok i am convinced going from conventional deadlifts to rack pulls now + doing RDLs the other day of the week. Thanks Alex!

[glennnolasco]

Alex training rack pulls above the knee with jeans and boots during the winter was something else 🦍🐻

[agentperry]

Yo Alex I just wanna say you've helped me tremendously as a 15 year old, helping me with me gains and knowledge. I've now made a small home gym and am training 5 people, earning some good bucks. Thanks a ton my man
