Wow. My front rack suuuuuucks. As a result, I've been watching a LOT of videos about how to improve my range of motion through all aspects of the front rack position. Just gotta say that this is probably the best, most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject yet. If this is the kind of information you typically put out, consider me a fervent subscriber. THANK YOU for this!
Much appreciated for this. Every other diagnostic I've seen for this is all at once, I'm happy someone was able to break it up into segments so people don't focus on the wrong area that may not be their limiting factor.
This channel should have WAY more subscribers. The information you can find here is priceless for people working in the fitness/physical performance world. THANKS SO MUCH
Awesome video! Did he mention he already has a checklist? Could he share that on this page? Love the methodology to avoid spinning my wheels. Just what I needed!
Have been looking into this issue and this is by far the best video I've seen. Same challenges here in that I need wrist and elbow improvement - Thanks guys!
Thank you so much for this video. I just started Crossfit, and I dread anything with a front rack. My mobility is REALLY bad. Much to my surprise I only had 2 of the issues (thought I'd have all of them).
This was an awesome video. very little fluff, plenty of info, delivered at a rate and with language that was easy to digest. One thing that would have been nice would have been to have seen him run through the drills and done a true test/retest process. Great piece, though!
I think my front rack mobility is even worse then his at the start if this vid. This year I definitely want to work on mobility. I've tried every way to front squat and mobility sucks with all if them.
Did you ever figure this out? I figure a physical therapist would be the way to go, but that's crazy expensive. Good personal trainers charge a lot too so not really keen in them either.
Did he really say you don't want to jerk from the elbows out position? That is the exact cue that you are supposed to use. Because it's still possible to round the upper thoracic if you cue elbows up and not elbows out. Elbows out allows you to retract the scapulae and make the back rigid. Look at any actual olympic weightlifter (not a crossfit athlete) and look at their elbow position.
@shruggedcollective Love this. Would it be beneficial to move the spine around first - the thoracic rotations and test first - then move to the Inhibition and Stretching?
When I do the stretch for the soft tissue in my lats when I'm kneeling in that externally rotated position hanging on to the pvc pipe I get huge pinches in my shoulders. What mobility work/stretches would you recommend to fix that? I try and get in there with a lacrosse ball but im having no luck in releasing it. Cheers

Really great video. Helpful and detailed. Superb
Thank you so much! At 7:50 is exactly what I needed!
I have been searching and watching a lot of similar instructional videos. Yours definitely comes in the top 3. You deserve more followings.
This is fantastic! I had real bad wrist pain and the Crossfit instructor said to just power through it... I just refused

You're welcome! Glad it helps.
I needed this video. Thank you!
Best front rack review I've seen
Thanks guys, what would one do if we try the test to see if our hand can touch the shoulder and feel tightness in the elbows?
really great tips on stretching and developing front rack positioning. cheers for posting
Great vid.
Thank you so much,wonderful as always!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
i use the peanut lacrosse ball for the wrists. i roll out around both wrists entirely.

Best video I have come across for this 👌

Very interesting. Gonna try it. I wish you made such a video about overhead squat.
Good trainer!
So helpful, thanks!
Great stuff
Thanks for the tips!
Awesome information sir 👍👍👍
That video is awesome, thanks!
This is really good advice thank you
Really useful, thank you.
wow great vid!!!
Super helpful!!!!!👍🏻😎💪🏻
Wow I have all of those issues! LoL I blame my desk job!
Could be. Or maybe it stems from jamming "Jagged Little Pill" album by Alanis Morisette too hard.
THANKS YOU!!!!!
I think my front rack mobility is even worse then his at the start if this vid. This year I definitely want to work on mobility. I've tried every way to front squat and mobility sucks with all if them.
This is amazing!
Good informative video.
awesome movements thanks...
I'll try this, I can't get a full grip and it's causing me wrist pain.
Where would one go to get a full mobility exam by a trained professional? Thanks!

Fantastic!!!!
excellent approach. very methodical and no bro science shit or overgeneralizing.

Can you do all these on a foam roller?
@shruggedcollective Love this. Would it be beneficial to move the spine around first - the thoracic rotations and test first - then move to the Inhibition and Stretching?
ok great, but whey are people stiff there?

My palm is bruised and my elbow and bicep hurts from cleans
goddamn this is great.
Spike Lee finally hit the gym!
Show
Just as I started watching this video, my girlfriend walked by me and nudged me, and said that's a push jerk.
Hey honey 😂😂😂
The instructor sounds like Ben Askren.
VERY knowledgeable but try to speak a little slower but very smart guy.
mhauck99 try to listen faster 😘
