Solving front rack problems | Feat. Kelly Starrett | Ep. 99 | MobilityWOD

[@jonjon2997]

Oh adn I appreciate that this is MOBILITY tutorial... and not a squat tutorial. It seems people missed the point of this thing. I know how to squat, and how to rack I just need help with mobility in my wrist and triceps so I can get my front rack. thank you for the video...and as I said, Ill report back

[@navsquid32]

Cameraman from Cloverfield.

[@DougMorin]

It's not necessarily about proper positioning on the front rack, but how to get over the hurdles that keep you from being able to properly front rack. This is exactly what I needed.

[@KENFL74]

4:50 5:12 5:52 6:22 7:12 are the great points !

[@deepthang]

this has helped me a lot...I was having this problem ...so for you PEOPLE. that didn't read the title of this video its" solving front rack problems"...NOT front squats....Dude did an excellent job.

[@tannerrood2980]

I feel like this guy loves his job

[@Rclinnov]

By far, the best break down on fixing the rack position. Great job & thanks a bunch.

[@JHKimmel]

I subscribed simply from the video description. I love the concept of tapping into my body's full potential, and then pushing myself further.

[@phan5302]

You can hear the passion through his explanation

[@65bucksmedia]

He seems like a great coach/trainer. I really enjoyed the information that was given in 8mins (seemed like a lot less). Thanks you!

[@jonjon2997]

MY front rack is GOD AWFUL. I power clean 245...and I can get any higher because I cant do a squat clean. My pull is all the way to my chin with 245...but I cant drop or make a rack. This is the first GOOD video Ive seen with excercises to hopefully fix my problem. Im going to start doing some of these and respond back in a month. Yesterday during my WOD I ahd to stop because of the pain in my wrist... im forced to do front squats cross arm like you showed. NO flexability in my wrist

[@nashdogg10]

This is an outstanding video. Thanks for the great explanation. I have had a hard time teaching my athletes how to get into a comfortable shoulder rack position and I know this will help.

[@wisdometernal]

This man is the best doin it...Period.

[@DanielLopez-zi8nz]

Man Iv asked this question so many times because Iv only been able to get my fingers like 6 inches to my shoulders and after trying this I'm like 2 inches away now. Thank you for this video

[@nathmansfield]

Most helpful press video ever! Mobility here I come

[@wesleygiddings893]

Appreciate this video. I spend a lot of time back squatting, bench, DL and decided to start implementing more front squat into my routine. Had some of these exact issues and am going to work through some of your suggestions.

[@MarmiteFerret]

My S&C coach linked me to this video and your channel as I am trying to increase my power cleans, and my catching position is really bad. Thanks so much for these tips I will give them all a go and see what I can do!

[@MarmiteFerret]

+Mick Vestergaard Hansen they did help a bit but my main thing is to warm up with a resisted shoulder extension the catching position with an unloaded bar. if someone pushes down on your elbows it works wonders!

[@theodoreboosalis]

TY for this informative video - great demonstration - I can use this today prior to doing racked work.

[@brianlee2341]

He is very enthuthiastic. Great mentoring. I will try it now!

[@DreamerTrain]

Any drills that don't involve bands?

[@Rick-se5qm]

Chatty...reminds me of Jack LaLanne and just as knowledgeable. Thank you Sir!! Your rubber band suggestion helped big time with my wrist range of motion. I am back to practicing hand stands.

[@SandiLuv87]

Thanks so much for this video I've had a problem with my wrist since I was in middle school but when I started crossfit it's really been a form breaker. Really excited to do these techniques strengthen my wrist and hopefully get more mobility :)

[@whiskeythrottle9369]

The informationel value of these videos are so great that i´d wish the video quality would match. Instead i feel the need to acquire glasses and motionsickness medication.

[@CrossfitNaples]

Thanks for sharing. The shear on the wrist when the bar gets set on the finger tips is awful and one we try to stay away from at all times.

[@reidbrian08]

I wish there was more specific drills. Video is on point as I am looking for a video to help me front squat and clean. Video feels like it's for other physical therapists and not jamokes like me.

[@rbailey67]

Outstanding tutorial and very good information. Thank you.

[@sergekamga4512]

I wish I saw this video before front squating at the gym today.

[@sirstrong1st]

This video is super helpful for me. Good job and keep up the good work.

[@06livefast]

The man just mentioned Pyrros Dimas, subscribed.

[@JohnFreeman-OmniTierra]

Thanks a ton for this MWOD Kelly. In fact the whole shoulder/ upper body series has been great. Camera WOD: camera rig could help stability and mobility. It's almost impossible to hold a camera by hand without it shaking.

[@Mithridates_7]

tendonitis have been killing me in my elbows the last 3 weeks, not because of bench , im a very good bencher, but because of squats. I hold very wide but still my hands are (like you show in the video) bendt and I can barely hold it, any suggestions on what I can do, to maybe improve mobility?

[@ThePsphakr]

I get a lot of pain in my left wrist when I do front racks. I've broken my arm 3 times and had one of the bones flipped so that I have the ability to turn my hand up instead of down. I can't touch my shoulder or do the weird eye thing. What can I do to gain more mobility?

[@MeisterdipperGAP]

I'm screwed! After breaking both my wrists in a freak mountainbike accident my wrists are not flexible anymore. My clean & jerk looks like shit because my elbows point downwards as a result of my inflexible wrists. Frontsquat is also a no go for me. Just doing it for a week and my PR is 90kg (bw = 85kg) with a power clean.

[@GIboy1990]

When I push jerk I get a lot of elbow pain like tendonitis. Are these things I can do to remediate that?

[@geordi-gabrielrenauddumoul5647]

man that is totallly me , im a starting olympic lifter , i have no probleme with the snatch but a lot of probleme with my shoulder, i starting to have pain to my shoulder by putting weight on it and by forcing it to strechs

[@jitbucu1]

Good stuff, exactly what i need to work on improving my front squat 1RM

[@YOURboiSHAMZ]

hi I just started to do a little bit of crossfit workouts I bought this book called WODS for beginners by Tom Craig I'm still in the process of finding what box I want to join I live in morinville Alberta I'm loving it I know it's not the same as going to an box but I love crossfit and this video has helped me a lot thanks

[@nadawcaPL]

Thank you very much for solvong such a hot issue. Greetimgs from Poland. Do your best

[@Eacott1234]

HEY - ANYONE at 2:50 kelly mentions neurological compression at this point, and goes on to say if "an athlete is having problems or weird tension...here or here theres a problem" That is a difficult position for me, does he have a video devoted to this?

[@zrebrutibreniti]

Hey ***** while doing thrusters, i get some pain in my wrists and always get my forehand muscles a bit sore, is this just lack of mobility?

[@andrewbrazina1958]

I have great flexibility,abnormal even but recently I've been getting a pain in my shoulder blade, is there anything you know I'm doing wrong that I could fix so I can go back to front squating, jerking and any exercise from the front I've been lifting 2 years so I'm pretty experienced I just don't know how to fix this problem and it keeps getting repeat injured thank you.

[@knollis4]

Great school, nice takes ....., thx a lot !

[@howardstein6989]

Kelly,keep up the good work.

[@JD_2597]

I recently failed on a front squat PR using the clean grip. I got the depth but as I was coming up my shoulders rounded which caused a lot of strain to put on my wrists, causing me to fail the lift. I didn't bail out with the weight correctly and now I have noticeable pain in my right radius and very minor pain in other areas of the wrist. I am thinking it's sprained, but I would appreciate if anyone else could give me an answer.

[@DeLatvia]

As long as it takes to work and as often as needed. Pretty simple really.

[@Latissimus65]

Brand of the blue band he does the first two stretches with?

[@bexmx]

Excellent explanation 👍👍👍!

[@Boogiiie]

what is that last tool you were using?

[@michelburkhardt8113]

thanks man, this helped me!!

[@gpdrissel]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thanks great video!

[@scotchscotch52]

its just a pair of lacrosse balls taped together. you can do it yourself or you can buy the pre made gucci ones from rogues website.

[@kingjarvis]

Great information.

[@jeremyhunt8920]

This is great. Thank you.

[@catchick09]

is this a good thing to do for when you had a broken wrist torn ligiment and hole in your tendon all in the same wrist?

[@cameronsmith2225]

You should talk to a doctor about that. he would be able to give you the most sound advice

[@shellea3]

Great video! Thanks soo much.

[@cjflix]

i have a client who has practiced pilates for many years, her flexibility and strength is extremely good, yet she cannot achieve a good front rack position. I don't think it stems from her back, it's driving us both crazy... possible due to an old shoulder injury but will have a go at some of these stretches, thanks.

[@JD_2597]

***** hehehehe

[@pipesinto]

***** You are an idiot.....It is too bad a woman can not post a comment without somebody making comments like yours... The females in your life must be so proud of you.

[@JD_2597]

***** hehehehe

[@pipesinto]

I would never get hurt from someone who has mother issues and lives in their parent's basement

[@JD_2597]

***** damn that's a good meme

[@hybridathlete8920]

damn, really feel that through the ulnar nerve.

[@devricky]

this is awesome thanks!

[@kellygaleable]

Hi folks - in the last bit, he grabs lacrosse balls - are they just glued together?

[@lobo2ram]

+Kelly Engleka It is a "Peanut", basically two lacrosse balls taped together

[@txturbo930]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@9SUX]

Nah its to you, if you know how to front squat then why do you need to watch the vid? The 8min video is there for people that can't aim their "lazer's" at peoples faces, or once they start squatting they lose it and start aiming down. Some people are tight, and this guy is giving them a way to work on it.

[@SacrificeTraining]

great info

[@Pulstreiber]

Does anybody know what kind of band I can use for this stretching exercises?

[@cameronsmith2225]

www.roguefitness.com/rogue-monster-bands the green band would probably be best for these exercises specifically, but if you were planning on doing all your mobility with the same band, the black band would be your best bet.

[@bryanpeden7491]

He did an ulnar nerve tension test when carpal tunnel syndrome is the median nerve being compressed. I like this guy though.

[@richardcarr7541]

Great vid. Thanks!

[@capra_88]

Hey Kelly, I don't know if u reply to these or even look at these but i recently had an injury cuz I didn't shoot my elbows up when I caught the clean at the bottom position so the elbows ended up smashing against the knees and I felt this sharp pain shoot up from my elbows to my wrists, is there any way to stretch them out cuz I have limited mobility on my wrist, will the exercises on this video and other videos involving wrist and elbow mobility be enough or is there anything else I can do??

[@Jack-rk7jc]

go to the doctor. same thing happened to me except I knew I fucked up immediately so I went to the doctor and she gave me a wrist brace

[@capra_88]

+Jackson Meade thanx, yah I have a wrist brace I just wanna know if there are any stretches that Kelly may know of

[@Jack-rk7jc]

DINO CAPRA idk man, stretching pulls on the ligaments, and if you sprained them in your hand and wrist like me, it could just prolong the injury. I'd save all the stretching for after your recovery period. But that's just me

[@aaronmiller3941]

Great vid

[@Sully1111]

Does anyone have a translator for this guy? Something that can translate between 'surfer bro speak' and normal English? I can't understand more than 2 words of what this guy is saying.

[@ΝίκοςΓεωργακο]

Thanks

[@private328]

3:35 What name does he mention? I cannot hear it.

[@MrJetplanemusic]

Don't feel bad. i watched several of his videos and I have a hard time following what he is saying. The rhythm of his speech is such that he says several words in an even succession then there's a sudden burst of several words blurred together like one long fast word. Maybe it's just me. I just may not be good at listening to fast talkers. But the rhythm is hard to get used to when you're not ready for that sudden lightning fast string of words. I really dig the exercise ideas he has, though.

[@rianstrong8340]

Pyrros Dimas.

[@DavidMaryCustom]

Never mind, I will just speak for myself - I had no problem understanding exactly what he was getting at.

[@ctvwrest]

Sound isn't working

[@shannon1664]

I think the misunderstanding comes in because he wasn't showing a position, he was talking to coaches who might have an athlete with a front rack position problem. He just showed a bunch of ways to address the most common front rack problems. Be well.

[@tttyyy949]

i know and i said it about milion times, i dont like talking about solving position to a good form without showing it once. in my opinion it lacks it. thats it. but welcome to 100 others which i replied the same after the same because i have nothing more to say already.

[@65bucksmedia]

He's just that good.

[@bigdeal4147]

this guys knows what he's talking about. not a stutter.

[@no1takethisname]

omg this is going to help my job as a server

[@wassim2364]

Ty

[@Dobbieninja]

I had to watch this in small chunk, the guy was exhausting me. Knowledgeable though.

[@leroiscorpion2010]

Front rack mobility is even more important than actual glutes strength for the front squat. I struggled a lot before I realised I had mobility issues, then my front squat improved dramatically: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anazomdnaNeeptE

[@rstocker19]

Nailed it

[@jeremyleff]

What is "smoked?"

[@EliteteamMontereyJiujitsu]

hes referring to the sharp pain people feel in the wrist due to nerve tension..the pain that most will just push through

[@Nimthak93]

Wish u were around, so you could help me with all my mobility problems :-(.. Ankle flexibility, wrist and what not.. Can't start doing crossfit cause i can do absolutely none of the techniques with my mobility problem.. ew ew eeeew

[@EclipseAgent]

Never again did I think I'd be doing the super human eye thing I did when I was 13...

[@ZaeBae22]

my wrists are so sore i cant hold a plate of food with my left hand :(

[@john-wick101]

fucking love this guy

[@Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese1]

do you not know what the front rack position is? this video is corrective stretching for the position assuming that you know what it is

[@2014402janus]

rogue monster bands

[@VeryScaryBiscuits]

"chances are, this is gonna smoke you"

[@memoiscool7778]

So this is what Roy does nowadays

[@flaffa4837]

he knows whatsup

[@henri7120]

Okay okay..

[@ns81]

5:30

[@krylonkidz209]

Good vid .. but dude is cocky as hell in person ...

[@billybrothers2492]

really ? That kinda sucks to hear. Oh well he's helping me solve my moblility problems

[@tttyyy949]

i can do the front squat. but to anser your post, if thats is enough so why making 8 min videos? so i assume your post is to author of the video not to me...

[@alexmackey335]

Smoked😂😂😂

[@Tazuuna]

He has an injury from a previous sport.

[@BigD42886]

The video is titled "Solving front rack problems", not "how to front rack"

[@joesmith389]

lol you don't see that in girls gone wild!

[@tttyyy949]

all i had to say is that if u want to teach someone something - you have to show it. showing how to maintain proper position in front squat without a bar its nothing more than bullshit. try teach olympic lifting without a bar. im not talking about using broomsticks or something imitating it. just teach ppl OL without a bar, try it.
