Rack Pull

  1. Set up a barbell in a power rack at shin height or just below your knees.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your shins touching the bar.
  3. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Engage your core and lift the bar by extending your hips and knees.
  5. Keep your back straight and your shoulders pulled back throughout the movement.
  6. Lower the bar back down to the starting position by bending your hips and knees.
  7. Repeat.
Notes

With its elevated starting point, the Rack Pull is an easier version of the Deadlift.
