I pulled from three heights, today. This puts stress on different areas of the back, all of which play a critical roll when deadlifting, and in many other lifts and strongman events. The center of my back is weaker, relatively, than my upper and lower back, so most of the focus was on the center. I'm playing catch-up from years of not-quite-ideal lifting which resulted in the disparity. Slowly and surely, I am evening out.
I also worked up over 500 lbs before putting on a belt, which adds good stress, with the extra load helping me to get stronger.
Here is a video of a couple of the sets:
