Coaching cues
Rest the plates on blocks or mats so the bar starts at mid-shin. Slightly longer range than a rack pull, still easier off the floor. Set your back flat, take the slack out, and drive through the floor. A stepping stone toward full-range deadlifts.
Orion Coach programs the Block Pull for you. Sets, reps, and load that adapt to your recovery, in real time.
