the rack position

introduction

Carry loads to improve the strength capacity of your entire body. If you are unable to grip it, you probably won’t be able to lift it. Start light, stay strong, and scale your strength by starting to hold a kettlebell in the rack position and strengthening the hip hinge.

Start with the bodyweight hinge, and then progress to loaded carries in two positions — suitcase and the rack.

Refine the kettlebell pick up, and practice powerful movements with the single arm clean to rack hold and the stationary march.

Practice with your own bodyweight first, increase your mobility and learn to press overhead to benefit your core, confidence and strength.
