When I say "Nice Rack," I am referring to the way Kari is holding the bar with her shoulders. This is a great front rack position with the bar touching evenly all the way across her chest and shoulders, sitting tight in behind the collar bone, elbows high with the wrists unloaded. This allows Kari to support a good amount of weight with no discomfort to her wrists, and it puts the bar as close to her spine as possible for a greater mechanical advantage.
If you struggle with the front rack position, chances are that the muscles between your shoulder blades are tight and immobile. You probably hate front squatting because it hurts your wrists. To get on the path to a nicer rack, spend some time with a foam roll or lacrosse ball tenderizing the meat between your scapulae and stretching your arms across the front of your body. If you can loosen up the muscles that are holding your shoulder blades from moving apart, you will be able to move your shoulders farther forward to support the load. Ask one of our coaches to show you some strategies on how tenderize the meat.
Also big thanks to Kari who helped Chris throw the awesome bash last weekend. We all know it was your doings that made the party such a hit.
