The basic set-up involves placing a barbell on a squat rack just above
your knees. Load the bar with your warm-up weight. Below is my own version of
this process.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend at your knees.
Leaning slightly forward at hips to grab the bar. Use a comfortable grip either with one palm
facing away and the other facing inward or both palms inward.
Pull like you would the top half of the deadlift.
Either use a standard deadlift workout as your warm-up and do two sets of
heavy rack pulls or warm-up with light rack pulls then two sets of heavy rack
pulls.
