The Rack

Andrew and Jason demonstrate what's up

The rack position is a prerequisite to doing most of the lifts we perform in CrossFit. This is important to becoming more efficient with presses, push presses, push jerk, wall ball, front squats, cleans and thrusters.

Your ideal position would have the bar rests on the shoulders (more specifically the deltoids) with loose wrists, fingers holding on with a just-outside-shoulder-width grip, all while the elbows shoot up toward the sky.
