Instead of a full body vertical raise (which could be called a chin-up), you can try a horizontal pull-up (different terminology so I will explain). Put your feet on a raised surface with your shoulders and neck on the ground, then use an over-hand grip to pull your body up to something, imagine a reverse push-up. Use a rowing type motion by drawing your shoulder blades together to as you pull and try to touch the bottom of your pecs to whatever you are lifting towards.
In a gym I would have my feet on a swiss-ball and pull myself up to a barbell on a rack at waist height, but at home I might use a chair for my feet and position a table over my chest to pull up to, or a sturdy broom-handle across two other chairs.
