I remember posting in the original 600 thread about 3 years ago after I first pulled 550 in November 2007. FINALLY hit 600 in April '10.
God was I happy.
Last pull on this vid…
Great job!

I had this problem before and it turned out to be a form issue. When your starting position isn’t optimal your speed will be good from the floor but then stop higher up.
There really is no way the top end of a deadlift is suppposed to be the heavier part. Its like saying its easier to full squat than quarter squat.
I’ve seen it many times and its always the starting position.
Try standing in a rack with the bar in a position where its almost locked out. I bet you will pull a lot more than your full ROM deadlift.
above the knee rack pulls you will pull from a position you cant get into with a full rom deadlift. in he rack pull youll shove your knees way forward under the bar and essentially quarter squat the weight. you simply cannot do that pulling frm the ground wthout a huge hitch. the top part of the lift changes when you pull the bar across your knee.

I am not sure I agree with you. I guess you could rack-pull the way you are describing, but why would you? I don’t see any reason for making the lift less specific to your needs. With your method you are compensating for lack of hip extensor-strength by using your quadriceps… not exactly a good thing when trying to improve a lift that relies heavily on hip extension/glutes and hams.
Everyone’s different and I haven’t seen your deadlift, but if I were you I would work on my mobility and focus more on pulling the slack out of the bar. Maybe take a look at where your shoulders are in relation to the bar at the start… if you start too close to the bar it might pull you out of the groove, the same goes for starting too far from the bar.

I think you misunderstood my post. I wasn’t advocating doing rack pulls that way, I was noting that is naturally the way people do them and it’s why you can high rack much more than your deadlift.
I now rack pull from just below my knees to avoid that, and I can’t rack pull much more than I deadlift that way.
Well I got 605 today, 60 lbs PR for me.
