Resistance Band

The Resistance Band Assisted Front Rack Stretch helps improve shoulder and wrist mobility, crucial for exercises like the front squat. It involves using a resistance band attached to a fixed point to create tension, allowing a deeper stretch in the shoulders while the arms are in a front rack position.

How to do it

  1. Attach a resistance band to a stable structure at chest height.
  2. Stand facing the band, loop it around your wrist, and position your hand as if holding a barbell in a front rack.
  3. Step back to create tension in the band, keeping your elbow high.
  4. Hold the position for 20-30 seconds, then switch arms.
  5. Maintain a tall posture and ensure a gentle stretch without pain.
