It makes sense if you lack the flexibility to do the deads from the floor. But ONLY if the emphasis is on gradually lowering the weight. If you think rack pulls in and of themselves will just magically get you ready, they won't. You'll have to work on the mobility and getting it down to the floor. OR, is it just a matter of using too much weight to start on the deads? Everything has to start at the beginning. You can't say well, I squat this much so I should be able to deadlfit a certain amount. It's a new lift. You must learn it with a light enought weight to ensure proper form but not so light that it give you too much freedom in terms of form.
