Rack pulls get a bad rap. A lot of lifters dismiss them as “partials” or “cheater reps,” and in fairness, they can be a waste of time if you’re just stacking plates high and moving weight with sloppy positioning. But when you set them up correctly, meaning your body is in the exact same position it would be if you pulled from the floor at that height, rack deadlifts become a powerful tool. They let you strengthen weak points, work through your mini-max (i.e. sticking point), and build carryover to your deadlift.

The full contact twist, better known these days as the landmine rotation, is one of the most effective ways to train the body’s ability to generate and resist rotational force.

By anchoring a barbell in a landmine-type of device or corner, you can develop powerful hips, a strong torso, and the kind of “anti-whiplash” strength that carries over to throws, strikes, swings, and grappling.

This drill also teaches you to link the upper and lower body through the core, building a stronger, more resilient torso without endless crunches.

I see it in the gym all the time, someone’s working hard under the bar, but their squat just isn’t clicking.

It’s not always a strength issue; sometimes it’s a few small details that throw the whole lift off.

In this video, I share three easy adjustments that may have an immediate impact on your back squat.

The belt squat gets labeled “back-friendly” but that’s underselling it. It’s not just a way to train around pain. It’s a way to build powerful hips, accumulate serious lower-body volume, and stay strong without grinding your spine into dust.

Not everyone can make it into the gym.
Distance. Schedule. Life.
That’s not an excuse anymore.
