Dead Lifts at the Squat Rack: Yay or Nay?
Posted on 9/5/14 at 1:37 pm

I do my dead lifts at the squat rack. Is this frowned upon? If so, where am I supposed to do them? My gym doesnt have a big open area with mats specifically for dead lifts and hand cleans. My only other option would be to take a bar from one of the benches and do them in front of the mirror by the dumbbell racks.

Nothing wrong with doing that as long as you don't hold the rack for a unreasonable amount of time.

Deadlift from the floor son.

At a different gym.

Is your gym Planet Fitness?

probably at a power rack where the bottom bars are adjustable/come off.

I mean, as long as you aren't there for a ridiculous amount of time, it should be fine. Especially if there's nowhere else.

Acceptable IMO

You mean you do rack pulls? Or partial deads with chains or bands?

Thanks for your opinions. Im gonna go ahead and say its acceptable, and continue to do as I have been.

Nevermind I see what you mean now. On other words you take the barbell from the rack and pulll from the bar. I don't think that's frowned upon. It isn't like you are doing barbell curls

You can take the crash bars off temporarily.
And I do this, there's no where else to do it at my place either.
