It's what the power rack was developed for, and there are isometric programs available elsewhere. But obviously they don't apply to a novice.

Isometrics as assistance exercises
Hi Rip, I was just wondering if you thought isometric exercises (e.g pushing overhead against a door frame) would be effective as assistance exercises for the starting strength program and also what your general thoughts on isometrics are.

I am intrigued to hear more about the isometric exercises the power rack was designed for.
Do you you mean things like heavy walkouts & trying to rack pull something far beyond your ability.. stuff like that?

And presses and bench presses into the pins, as well as pulls and squats.
