Rack Deads

[LG1]

I am on my first DC blast and was thinking of switching up from rack deads below the knee to above the knee. What do you guys think of this? I think I have seen Dusty do something like this when he trained with/through a back injury.

Asking due to lower back fatigue/OT.

Also, any thoughts on Trap Bar deads and Rack Deads from the Smith?

I really see lill benefit from such a short range of motion. I have never been a rack dead fan but I did a set recently from well below knee level and am gonna try them for a cpl weeks cause the top half is my weak point on deads. Much prefer reg deads
BTW if you are avoiding deads cause your back is fatigued or over trained then for safety sake let it rest, give it a break for a bit and just kill exs that don't involve your lower back.
