072215 – Mark up the walls

Jon displaying a rocking front rack position.  Good job, buddy!

 

No, seriously.  His shoulders and chest have created a shelf that the bar can rest on.

This particular position is good for front squats.  All he’d have to change to do a thruster, a push press, a jerk, etc. is to bring the elbows down a little, take more of a grip on the bar and he’s good to go!

You ever wonder why your wrists hurt when you do these things?  Mobility in the wrists?  Maybe.  More than likely it’s in the arms, shoulders, and upper back that restricts your ability to make that shelf comfortably for the bar.

Work on the back of the arms, the back of the shoulders, the upper back/neck area, and just behind the armpits.
