Rack Pulls

Rack pulls are a partial deadlift variation that lets you lift heavier weights and focus on back and hip extension without going through the full range of motion.

Instructions

1. Set a barbell on pins inside a power rack at mid-shin, below-knee, or above-knee height.
2. Stand with feet hip-width apart and grip the bar just outside your legs.
3. Brace your core, keep your back flat, and position your hips back as you hinge forward.
4. Pull the bar up by extending your hips and knees until you’re standing tall.
5. Lock out at the top with your shoulders pulled back.
6. Lower the bar with control to the pins and repeat.
