📣KB PRO TIP: YOUR RACK SETUP📣⁣
⁣
⁣
Here's a quick checklist for your Rack setting.⁣
⁣
⁣
👉🏾 armpit packed (long head tricep and Lat muscle hugging)⁣
⁣
👉🏾 a vertical forearm⁣
⁣
👉🏾tip of elbow aligns over the leg⁣
⁣
👉🏾 deep hand insertion with a straight (even slightly flexed wrist⁣
⁣
👉🏾 spread the collarbone⁣
⁣
👉🏾core muscles braced & ribs pulled down⁣
⁣
⁣
A good Rack setting secures the weight to feel like a part of your body.⁣
⁣
⁣
It also helps stabilize the upper and mid spine for high tension hinge movements.⁣
⁣
⁣
Feel stronger under heavy Squats, Lunges, Good Mornings & Presses.⁣

📣KB POWER TRAINING TIP📣⁣
⁣
⁣
When it comes to ballistic Kettlebell exercises, don't hold out on your backswing.⁣
⁣
⁣
The length of your backswing in a Swing, Clean and Sn**ch can dictate how powerful and efficient your technique is.⁣
⁣
⁣
Shortening, or restricting your backswing is a great way to lose power in your hinge.⁣
⁣
⁣
This will also cause your body to take the force of the weight's momentum with little deceleration, and cause more compression on the body (especially the low back).⁣
⁣
⁣
A long & smooth backswing helps to absorb the momentum force easier, allowing you to be more balanced and powerful.⁣
⁣
⁣
A long backswing with a good spine posture helps to:⁣
⁣
⁣
👉🏾 distribute the momentum force over the entire body, especially in your strongest muscles⁣
⁣
👉🏾 create more tension under stretch in the muscles for more muscle activity and toning⁣
⁣
👉🏾 decompresses the joints (hips & shoulders especially) as length and space is created in the body⁣
