Pull from blocks substitute

I'm building a home gym on a thin budget is there a decent substitute for this lift? I only have a barbell and half rack

I think this is literally the easiest exercise to recreate in your homegym. Just buy some rubber tiles, even wood could do the trick, stack them on top of eachother until you reach the desired hight. With a little imagination you could use a lot of stuff.

Yep, just use wood, that's what I do. I was thinking about cutting down a tree trunk and shaping it next, because the ply-wood moves around a bit.

You can also use spare plates.

Or the rack, but that's only suitable if you don't mind bending your shiny bar.

I like what liftisgood said. I actually recommend doing them off plates. I used to always do these inside the rack but found that when they weight got real heavy it started doing damage to the rails and also the bar would roll on the rails so I would have to re-adjust a lot in between reps.  Doing them off plates allows me to start with the bar even lower then the rails at my gym allow me to start from which is more challenging.

Very nice thanks all
