Barbell Rack Pull (Straighter Knees)

Place the barbell securely on level rack supports and stand close to it with both feet planted.

Take the demonstrated overhand grip and hinge at the hips with the knees slightly bent, keeping the arms straight and trunk braced.

Keep the knees more extended than in the bent-knee variation, but do not force them straight.

Keep the bar close and the feet firmly planted.

Jerking the bar from the supports or rounding the lower back.

Forcing the knees into hyperextension or adding a deep squat during the return.

Leaning backward at lockout or bouncing the bar off the supports.
