Big.jaz,

Where do you start your rack pulls? Right below your knees or a little lower? I've seen some people pulling from mid-shin, but that seems too low for me. I was thinking, just an inch or two below where my arms rest.

Great job Hank! I've never done rack pulls before. I can't wait to try them out.

top range pulls are from halfway up the thigh

they are about holding the weight, not about the pull portion
