I'm currently struggling with this, it's incredible how everything you teach is free, thank you!

[anthonypaulson]

That hardest part about these tips is that I need a friend!

[AndersRisager]

I just watched your video from 2 years ago on the same topic... I love this stuff!!!

Whenever I compliment a woman’s front rack they seem to get the wrong impression

[ThatGuyAlon]

You post this on my max effort front squat day. Love to see it

[colebench]

Btw great content, helped me a lot.

"You need a friend" Well, first problem...

[jonathanaholmes]

As always, great content!
When checking Ed's lat stiffness, with on hand you aided him in overhead extension. What is your other hand doing behind his torso? Are you holding the lat checking for tightness? Stretching the lat by mechanically lengthening?
Thanks in advance!

How would you scale the eccentric lower for someone who doesn’t have chin-ups yet? Thanks so much 💪

[nick-xu]

My knee cap pops in a very uncomfortable way when I straighten my leg. Do you have any tips to fix this or is it something that I’ll be stuck with? I’ve worked a lot on trying to loosen the lateral portion of my quads/IT band and nothing seems to help.

[islamabouelata]

That's useful, my (noob) question here is what is the reason in the first place for having the elbows up? is it making the clean easier in any way? it's a relatively weird and unnatural hold (a looks quite dangerous too), so I'd love to learn what the rationale for it is.

Thanks in advance.

There’s an old video on this channel which contains a few other stretches - these fixed my front rack completely. Try them if this video doesn’t fix you up.

[ichiroutakashima]

Thanks for this video. I've always had a problem on how to do this. The clean and jerk. I always end up having a bruise on my collarbone.

What if it’s not my lats?? Feels mor like my shoulders. When I internal and externally rotate my arm I go back all the way.
