Just when you think you've seen it all... I give you Landmine Weighted Pull-Ups. And no, I will never run out of ideas... :)
This is a really interesting setup that put a monster stretch on my lats at the bottom and great tension as far as up as I could pull.
The range of motion is a bit shorter because of how I'm gripping really wide onto the pull-up bar and the frame of the rack (underhand).
It IS essentially a landmine-style exercise set up in the power rack.

I've got both ends loaded with a 25 lb bumper plate to keep the bar balanced. The one end stays resting on the rail and acts as the landmine pivot.
KEY POINT... On the "weighted" end of the bar, I've got the plate set out at the very END of the bar so that it doesn't hit the frame of the rack as I came up. I found if it was in the "normal" place, it hit the rack crossbeam.
Moving it out (with one collar inside the plate and one collar outside) worked perfectly.
I've also got a regular barbell pad for the shoulder so the bar doesn't dig into the collar bone.
