    I can't get the bar to the right height for rack pulls

    My gym's power rack doesnt let the pins go very low, so the lowest one is a couple inches above my knee.

    I want to do rack pulls from at least 3 inches below the knee, so any ideas how to do this?
    They have these little step platforms, which I could stand on if they werent so narrow.

    my gym has tons of thick rubber mats you can use to stand on, or you can use something else sturdy to stand on to make up for the rack. we also have wooden boxes and huge blocks of wood

    or do dead lifts off the floor

    Mats or blocks like the above user suggested are feasible.

    Improvise. Once, when I was out of town, I put the bar on the benches of two machines.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    Any other ideas?
    We got some lame squishy mat things, but idk if its a good idea to pull from one of those, cuz my feet would proly sink into them. I might give it a try tho.

    Or I could use 2 step platforms, but theyre all diff heights...

    I think the only way to do it is to use the high pins while im standing on something, unless I can stand on the ground and put the bar on some other kind of stand. I just havnet found anything in my gym that will get the bar at upper shin level. WE dont have any blocks or boxes that i know of.

    I do dl off the floor, but sometimes i dont wanna use so much ass and hams, esp. since im trying to build my back.
