not a deadlift alternative, but an alternative to all the stuff you just mentioned. keep the rows though–the kroc ones.

cool thnaks mate. i was thinking of just droping shrugs and upright rows for the high pulls

it depends how you plan on doing the high pulls.

first off, technique will effect things -doing them from the floor/hang will hit your posterior chain hard, so you need to be careful if doing them before deadlifts or any bent over work…

most importantly, do you plan on using the layer system for high pulls? in which case, you should focus on the high pull with some lat/bicep work after.

**don’y underestimate the high pull as an upper back exercise! my rhomboids and mid/lower traps are aching after doing them yesterday! -they’re also thicker than ever!
