Basketball Strength Training: “PULLS FROM THE RACK” EXPLOSIVE TWO FOOT EXERCISE!!!!

“Pulls from the rack” is a bilateral (two foot) exercise that will improve your explosiveness off two feet. Great for all sports but, especially awesome for your basketball players!! It will also strengthen the movement patterns for Power Cleans, Hang Cleans, and the Snatch. All of which should be in your workout regiment if you are serious about improving your athletic explosiveness!!!! Set the bar on the rack (mid thigh), set your back (chest out, ass out), knuckles down, shoulder blades pinched together, then drive the bar up explosively, vision forward, finishing the exercise with a shrug. Let the weight fall to the rack, do not control the weight, straps will be needed when going heavy. Create a great day!!!!! -Coach T
