PullThe past few days have been hectic to say the least. After what feels like weeks without lifting, today I forced myself to set aside some time for a short workout. A few rack pulls (hopefully the accessory work will squeeze in later this evening).

With the weights following the pattern of the below-knee rack pulls I did nearly a fortnight ago, I set the pins at the bottom of the rack; which leaves the plates a few inches off the ground. As most of my things are packed away ready for the move, leaving an almost empty room, this height was quite loud enough. Good fun.

Rack pull (bottom pins) 20@20/44, 10@60/132, 8@80/176, 5@100/225, 8×3@120/264

NB : The warmup sets were all pulled sumo, with the triples using a conventional stance.

Glad to see that you’ve made a bit of time for some pulling Scott. That might come in handy in the move…the strength that is!

If nothing else it’s a great stress release :)

Nice workout, Scott… brief and intense. And what exactly is a ‘fortnight’ anyways?

Thanks. Fortnight = two weeks (it’s from the middle english for fourteen nights).

Good to see that you got a quickie in. Hopefully, you’ll be able to get back to it more regularly soon. Good luck on the move. I hope it all goes smoothly.

i agree, nothing like a deadlift workout to releave stress…at least you are usually too tired after to be stressed ;)
