Mobility Monday.
Wrists are often a source of discomfort for CrossFit athletes in the front rack position.
CALL TO ACTION: How are your wrists?
Try this strech before your next workout. Do you notice a difference?
Start on hands and knees in a quadruped position.
Place the palms on the ground with fingers pointing towards the body.
Gradually sit back, applying gentle pressure on the wrists.
Feel the stretch in the forearms and wrists.
Hold for the desired duration, maintaining comfort.
The wrist extension stretch can help improve the ability of the wrists to extend, which is needed to hold a proper front rack and in movements like push-ups, handstand holds, and wall balls.
