Benefits of the Rack Pull
Similar to a deadlift, the rack pull can target many muscle groups on the body. These mainly include the calf muscles, hamstrings, quads, and glutes. The exercise also hits certain muscles in the upper body and core. Many people choose the rack pull as a stepping stone to improve the strength necessary for a full deadlift. Many professional weightlifters also choose this exercise to boost the strength for other pulling activities, such as biceps curls and dumbbell rows. You can also see it as a functional exercise, which improves your overall strength for daily activities, such as holding a child or carrying a heavy object. [4]
