(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 19, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Athletes can end their frustration and learn how to attain optimal front rack positioning in the new video released by CrossFit Chiang Mai Thailand coach, Barry Lavis, using WOD Nation resistance bands.
Attaining the proper elbow positioning for front racks can be a source of frustration for many athletes and pain if they haven't stretched sufficiently. In his new video, Lavis dissects the stretching process, provides information on selecting the right bands, and demonstrates the difference before and after stretching.
Lavis noted that athletes either don't stretch or they don't do it correctly. In his video, the CrossFit coach shows viewers two different stretches and provides visual proof of the difference stretches make in elbow positioning for front racks. Utilizing the appropriate resistance band is a critical element and Lavis explains why.
The stretches are distractions for the triceps and part of the lats, and require just two minutes on each side to drastically improve performance. Athletes typically choose resistance bands that are incorrect for the job and attempt to exercise with them. Lavis emphasizes that the bands are there to do the work and athletes must refrain from tugging and pulling.
The CrossFit trainer has endorsed the WOD Nation resistance bands for optimal stretching. They have a 41-inch loop that makes stretching easy and convenient in any locale. The bands feature color coding to facilitate selection and are available in five resistance levels. They begin at 10-35 lbs. and increase to 65-175 lbs. of resistance to accommodate the widest range of fitness level requirements.
The front rack position is critical for an extensive array of actions, from squats and thrusts to barbell work. The proper front rack form places the triceps parallel to the floor and the bar should be resting across the front deltoids. To perform the maneuver successfully, the shoulders must be flexible enough to rack the bar with minimal pain and maximum mobility.
High elbows enable stable weight distribution and greater flexibility. The stretches demonstrated by Lavis open the shoulders and significantly reduces the risk of injury in the shoulders, back and wrists. Pushing through a painful workout isn't beneficial and can result in additional damage to the body.
The new instructional video by CrossFit trainer and Olympic wrestling coach, Barry Lavis, provides athletes with clear explanations and dynamic demonstrations to improve their front rack positioning in just two easy steps. Using WOD Nation resistance bands, the stretches take less five minutes to complete, improves performance, and reduces the risk of injury.
