I can tell that deadlifts are perhaps the exercise I respond to the most in terms of upper body size and total development. I do rack deadlifts as these have helped me stay injury-free.
The best gym I have in my area is a 24 Hour. They only have one power rack, however. I would like to do rack deadlifts without having to depend on the power rack to be free when I go. I'm thinking about stacking 3 45 lbs. plates as the base for the barbell, which I think should bring it to about the height of the first rung on the power rack.
Anyone do these? Does it work OK to stack 2-3 45's to put the barbell+plates on? I won't be lifting a huge amount right now, between 250-300lbs.
