Default Any benefit from doing rack squats?

I know some guys do rack bench, myself included, but is there any benefit to doing rack squats?

I've incorporated them into my workouts the last couple of wks, and I want to see if they'll carry over to my max squat. (425x2)

It seems like they would help break that sticking point that I get at about halfway up. Not to mention the fact that you can really load the bar and shock your body with really heavy weight.

Another question I have is, should a persons DL always be more than his/her squat? If so, by how much? Right now my DL and squat are the same. I've only been doing them (DL) regularly now for about 3mos.

Hogg, AM, Gavin, others, I want to hear what you have to say.
