Starr. They are why I didn't need to do chins for the first 20 years of my training.
About a month and a half ago I started doing them every other week like you recommend them to be programmed and holy shit are they hard.
Why the fuck do my lats gets so sore from them? The soreness is pretty much immediate...so much so that doing pull-ups afterwards is no longer an option.
The next day I'm sore as hell. I've done them three times in total over a 6 week span and every-time they fuck me up.
The Rack Pulls and Cleans I alternate them with don't make me sore. Just the Haltings.
The set of 8 is no fucking joke either.
By the time you get past rep 5 you just cant fucking breathe.
Who the hell came up with these.

Brutal.
I wonder why no one else recommends them.
Kinda makes rows seem retarded.
I try to hold it for a second at the top of each rep.
And yeah, the first 3 times I did these it killed me. Now I kinda like em.
I like these too. All though my friend John Wilson “makes” me stand up on the last rep. Now that’s killer. I like the Rack pulls to help hold position during the lift and work on getting my butt through to standing up. Most of my problem admittedly has been technique issues in past. I had a bad tendency to just grab the bar and go for it. That caused me to miss 600 twice just three inches from the top. So remember technique too.🙃
