Thumbs up for those who see the workout tomorrow morning and then youtube search how to do it the night before....

Does anybody know of any stretches that will aid in being able to place the bar in your rack. My biggest problems with cleans, thrusters, etc is that I am not flexible enough in my wrists and/or shoulders to fully and comfortably place the bar across by shoulders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out Kelly Starretts youtube channel (sanfranciscocrossfit)... there is probably something there that will help you with it. Also his book supple leopard is amazing I highly recommend it!

All of these stupid videos do not go into DETAIL about how to rack the damn barbell on your shoulders. From the crossfit cult to the powerlifter videos to the olympic lifters, not a single one goes into details of the most important thing about this type of lifting which is racking it on your shoulder and the PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS for people who are having trouble. Some may hold the bar too narrow, some may be trying to stretch their shoulders and mess everything up. Explain the rack!

I'm not an expert but from my own personal experience...whenever I racked a weight, I was feeling it all in my arms which means I was muscling it. You should feel muscles strain around your scapula - super frustrating. Anyways, If that is the case, you need to get your neck, shoulders and scapula region loosened up. I'm fortunate to have a "massage guy" at our box so he knows exactly what to look for. My range of motion has improved greatly so good luck!

Great video Jason, thank you. I am having a transition issue with my thrusters. I just need to work on flipping my grip around.

For mostly all workouts, you never want to push off your toes. Your body is off balance and it won't give you the drive you need. Squats, thrusters....HEEL ALWAYS!!

You stick your head far too out, bad for your spine vertebraes
