Alright, welcome to The Lifting Fix. Today we're going to talk about flexibility, especially the lats, and it'll help you in the front rack position with the bar. So while you're doing front squats or receiving a clean, that type of stuff. So one thing you can do is just with the bar in a rack, you can get it loaded up with weight, probably more weight than this will be ideal.
And one thing you can do is you can put the hands over it. to kind of tie it down to the rack so it can't come up. And then Aaron's going to get underneath it like he's going to do a front squat, but he's not going to actually pick up off there. He's going to keep a full hand grip on the bar, and with that full hand grip he's going to really fight his elbows up.
All right, just trying to relax in his lats and fight him up, and he's going to do that for like a one, two, three count, and he's going to let it down a little bit Okay, and then they come back in and fight that same thing again So that's one thing you can really do is kind of keep the weight there. Again, the heavier the weight on that, the better, because you can really get into it a little more and not worry about messing the bar. And something else you can do with a partner is we're going to do it in here again. So go ahead and get in there.
Some contract, relax, so he gets that position. If I hold here, he's going to push his elbows into my hands. So push down 1, 2, 3 and then relax and then I'm going to help him and push those up and then we stay there and again push down. three and relax and I push up a little bit further every time you just get a little more and a little more range.
Alright another way a partner can help you out we're gonna go to a barbell back here actually. We're going to get up close and personal a little more, but it's really helpful. The king just puts the bar in front of our position. I'm going to come underneath, grab my elbows, I'm going to be a pit, and then from here I can just kind of fight it up.
Now the key is here to not choke the person. You've got to get it nice and tight. So I can actually roll towards me a little bit and crank those elbows up. Now obviously he has a really flexible front rack, but this could be-- very challenging for a lot of people to get in that position.
Hearing the contract relax also, so fight down into my arms. two, three, and as you relax it's gonna be a nice couple little huts. Alright? You need help with front rack position, move stuff your lats, get a partner, work on your own, and whatever you can do.
