Solving Front Rack Problems

Lets’ face it! A proper front rack position is of utmost importance for CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting alike. And many of us struggle with it. That is a fact!

The inability to get into a good rack position affects your ability to effectively clean, front squat, press or jerks a barbell overhead.

The proper rack position is described as having the barbell rest on the deltoid (shoulder), fingertips resting on the barbell, and elbows pointing straight ahead. It requires: thoracic spine mobility, and flexibility in the shoulders, elbows and wrists.

Please click on the “FrontRack” PDF-Link below for an exercise program that I created that will help you achieve and maintain a better posture when performing the many varied positions requiring the front rack position.
