About

It's a workout where you lift the barbell on the rack. Think of it as a deadlift with a shorter range of movement

How to Rack Pull

Starting Position

1. Please adjust the height so that the barbell can be positioned on your shins.

2. Please spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

3. Slightly push your hips back while naturally bending your knees.

4. Grip the barbell shoulder-width apart and puff out your chest.

Proper Form

1. Please pull the barbell towards your belly button so that it can go up vertically.

2. While gathering your shoulder blades, naturally pull your elbows and hands.

3. While supporting the weight with your back strength, slowly lower the barbell onto the rack.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you lift your upper body, and inhale when you lower it.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to let your elbows flare out.

2. Please be careful not to overly straighten your back or move it up and down.

3. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.
