Deadlifts(Classic, both palms are in overhand)
VS.
Rack Pulls
When aiming to focus solely on lats,traps and posterior deltoids, which would be more effective?

Fuck rack pulls, do that shit on your own time, don't waste the squat rack for your memes.

i did rack pulls for a while cause i fucked up my knees with cold weather (and some other retarded shit) and it did feel good and later on now has made my deadlift lock outs easier after i went back to deadlifts. gave insane lowerback pump to cause can go on for longer. but eh, if you want to focus SOLEY on lats/traps/delts ...do specific Lat/trap/delt work. great assistance exercise for lockout though

neither

Because they can pile 4 plate on a bar, lock their knees and it looks difficult to normies
99% of the time that they're used, rack pulls are just ego-lifting horseshit. Unless you're a serious powerlifter with a weak lockout that's bottlenecking your deadlift weight, there is no reason to do rack pulls. Ever.

Except for the fact that EKG studies show that rack pulls are more far effective than deads in activating the posterior chain and are much MUCH safer for your back. Unless you are a powerlifter the cost to benefit ratio for deadlifts is too high. Most professional bodybuilders don't even deadlift EVER. Don't get me wrong they are great for noobs to help train CNS and stimulate full body growth but for people above the novice level rack pulls are simply more effective and help cut back on recovery time

The only successful bodybuilder who actually and consistantly did deadlifts was ronnie.
