    700 Gym pull
    dont let anyone tell you wearing long pants and dragging the bar up them doesnt effect your lift. I'm still happy with pulling this while on vacation need to strengthen the glutes Ill get the 750 in 6 weeks in the meet

    What do you think about the difficulty of mid-shin rack pulls compared to pulling off the floor? It seems like a lot of people (me included) think it's actually harder to pick it up from that height.

    In any case 755 is huge.

    Mid shin IMO is much harder. Its dependent on the person though. I rely on my speed out of the bottom when my hams are wound up tight so yes me pulling from mid shin and hitting 755 I should be set to break my current full pull record of 725 if I can just get and stay healthy for the 13th of Feb.

    Yes starting in that mid portion of the lift is Hell a matter of being patinet and it feels like two days of pulling before the bar moves but once it does its over.

    Then again I have people I train, and I used to be, a person that if I can crack it off the floor I can close the lift. Its not that way now. So back then I used to train a lot of deficit work and SLDL's until the floor was my strong point.
