Rack Pull

Set-up

• Set the safety bars of a rack at about knee height and rest the bar on them.
• Stand close to the bar with your feet hip-width apart and grip it just outside your legs.

How to do it

1. Brace your core and push your hips back slightly so your back is flat.
2. Drive your hips forward to stand up tall with the bar against your thighs.
3. Lower the bar under control back to the safety bars.

Coaching cues

• Keep the bar touching your legs the whole way.
• Squeeze your glutes to finish, without leaning back.

Common mistakes

• Leaning back at the top to finish.
• Dropping the bar onto the safety bars.

Safety

• Check the safety bars are locked in place at the same height on both sides.
