Perfect.
This is a great exercise for the lats. I generally do this in a power rack (the home gym isn't big enough to do it anywhere else), with the barbell sitting across the pins at their lowest setting.
Straddling the bar - and standing close to the weights at one end - lift the bar using both hands. Keep the elbows tucked in and bring the plates toward your chest.
I like to partner these with chin-ups, which also keep the lats warmed up.
