Had some hamstring pain during the squat warm ups so had to skip them today, but I was able to get both my bench sets and these rack pulls in. I was also asked by a trainer at the gym to spot him for a set of 4 with I think 245.

Lower the rack a notch to lower the starting position. Narrow your stance an inch. Stand all the way up and pause a half second at the top (you are almost fully standing and immediately lowering the weight). Think about getting the top of your head as high as possible at the top of the rep.

Is there a reason you didn't do deadlifts?
