Rack Pulls

Barbell Lower Back

The Rack Pulls is a powerlifting movement that targets your lower back. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Rack Pulls

  1. Set the safety pins so the bar starts just below, at, or above knee height.
  2. Hinge to the bar with a neutral spine, brace hard, and grip just outside your legs.
  3. Drive through the floor and extend your hips to pull the bar to lockout.
  4. Lower the bar back to the pins with control — do not drop or hyper-extend at the top.
