TRAINER TIP TUESDAY 💪
Last week, Coach Alli walked us through the Front Rack Squat. This week, we’re building on that foundation by focusing on front rack comfort, mobility, and positioning 🔥
If you’ve ever felt discomfort in your wrists, shoulders, or triceps while holding a front rack position, this week’s tip is for you 👊
Why does front rack mobility matter?
🔥 Creates a stronger squat position
🔥 Improves comfort under the bar
🔥 Helps maintain proper posture throughout the movement
🔥 Allows you to move more efficiently and confidently
Coach Mike’s biggest focus this week:
➡️ Find the front rack position that works best for YOUR mobility.
➡️ Don’t force a position your body isn’t ready for.
➡️ Mobility can be improved over time with practice and consistency.
A few options for your Front Rack Position:
✔️ Bar resting across the collarbones/front shoulders
✔️ Cross-arm position as a modification
✔️ Keep elbows high to create a strong “shelf” for the bar
Mobility tip:
✅ Rotate the wrists into a stretch position and hold for 30 seconds
✅ Stretch the triceps, shoulders, and upper arms regularly
✅ Use a bench to gently open up the front rack position before class
Remember: there’s no one-size-fits-all front rack position. The goal is finding a setup that allows you to move safely, comfortably, and confidently while continuing to improve your mobility over time.
