Unlock strength and flexibility with these targeted mobility stretches for achieving an optimal front rack position
RACK RELIEF

Many men struggle when it comes to achieving a proper front rack position. These issues often stem from poor posture habits, sedentary lifestyles, or inadequate mobility. This mobility flow is created to specifically target and alleviate the discomfort associated with the front rack position. The goal is twofold: to release tension and soreness while simultaneously enhancing overall front rack posture.

“Mastering the front rack goes beyond the discomfort it often brings; it’s about unlocking a foundation of strength and flexibility,” says pliability’s director of performance Cody Mooney. “Addressing the intricacies of shoulder, lats, and triceps mobility, the Front Rack Release Pathway is a curated sequence of exercises, designed to break through limitations and enhance your front rack. This pathway empowers you to overcome discomfort, forging a path to a more resilient and perfected front rack position.”

• Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart

• Position yourself next to a sturdy object, such as a wall or a pole, that you can hold onto for support
