How to Rack Pull: Techniques, Benefits, Variations

Preparation for the Rack Pull

To prepare for the rack pull, you need a barbell, squat rack, and weight. If you do not have them at home, it is easy to find them in nearly all gym facilities. For better support, consider using a weightlifting belt and wrist straps. It is important to set the rack height before starting. This can be different for each person, depending on the body height. In most cases, people can set it just above or below the knee. Next, put the barbell to the rack and then add the weights. Try to use the same amount of weight that you often do in the deadlift. If you do not know how much to start, go with low weight and then slowly increase the capacity. [2]
