EXAMPLE
RACK POSITION
INTRODUCTION
Rack position (holding the kettlebell at your chest) is a fundamental of kettlebell lifting and will allow you to do a range of exercises, from simple rack squats and lunges through to overhead presses and more complex lifts such as jerks. Due to the kettlebell’s displaced centre of mass and odd shape, it is racked in a very different position from a barbell and must be racked in a particular manner for safety
MOVEMENT ANALYSIS SCREENS
Hip flexor flexibility (lunge stretch)
SETUP
-
Beginners can pick the kettlebell up in one hand and use the other hand to roll the kettlebell around the wrist so the body of the bell comes to rest in a “V” between the biceps and forearm
- More advanced lifters can clean the kettlebell into rack position
EXECUTION
- The handle should sit diagonally across the palm with one corner between the webbing of thumb and forefinger and the other side of the handle locked in on the forearm
- The pressure of the handle should sit on the heel of the hand
- The body of the kettlebell should sit in a “V” made by the forearm and biceps
- The hand should be roughly in line with the midline of the body, and should be positioned medially to the elbow
- The elbow should be in contact with the body (ideally the iliac crest). If this isn’t possible, as much upper arm contact with the body as possible
- The legs should be locked (or at anatomical lockout for those who are hypermobile)
- Some glute activation is required in rack to protect the lower back, however maximal tension in the glutes isn’t necessary
- The weight of the kettlebell should be largely supported by the lower body and should sit directly over the hip and heel
TEACHING POINTS
- A neutral wrist should be able to be maintained without activating the forearm flexors ie. the wrist should be relaxed
- To check whether the handle is too high on the hand, check for a gap between the forearm and handle – if you can slide your hand down between the forearm and bell handle, hand sliding perpendicular to the wrist, the handle is sitting too high
- The forearm and biceps should support the body of the bell evenly; the weight of the bell should not rest entirely on the forearm
- The hand should not pass outside the armpit or shoulder and should never be positioned laterally to the elbow
- The hand doesn’t need to touch the body and the palm should not be facing the body (having the palm facing between about 90-120 degrees from the body is good)
- In order to get the hips under the bell you may need to push them forward slightly, and have a slightly hyperextended lumbar spine, however you do not want a large amount of hyperexten- sion and there certainly shouldn’t be any pain or discomfort in the lower back in this position
- You can test the stability of the kettlebell by placing downward pressure on the body of the bell – if it feels stable rack position is prob- ably good, if it feels like it’s going to be pulled out to the front or side rack position needs to be adjusted
