Subject: You won't look at a power rack the same way again...6 killer exercises...
The power rack is one of the single most versatile pieces of training equipment there is, whether it's at the gym or if you have a rack at home.
I've got 6 killer exercises that will help you get even MORE out of your rack, using it to cover everything from chest and abs to rear delts, biceps and more.
Check these out...
#1 - Chest and Abs: Back-Off Bench Dumbbell Press
This exercise is the perfect "beach body" exercise, targeting the chest and abs with a unique bracing setup. You'll be using your six-pack abs isometrically to support your body AND the weight as you press up without your upper back on the bench.
#2 - Biceps: Nilsson Curls
If you want to build massive biceps, this is the exercise you're going to use. Most bicep exercises use a relatively light weight. This one uses a specific "blocking" method to put the load of almost your ENTIRE bodyweight directly onto your biceps
#3 - Quads and Core: Frankenstein Plus Dumbbell Squats
This one is going to demand everything you've got. It's a variation of the Front Squat that adds in an additional twist to throw even MORE loading on your core and quads. If you want to improve your Front Squat and quadricep strength, this exercise will do it for you.
#4 - Back: Corner Rack Pull-Ups
The specific shape of the corner of the power rack allows you to perform a version of the pull-up that puts DIRECT tension on the outermost fibers of your lats. If you want to build back width, do this exercise.
#5 - Shoulders: Rear Delt Rack-Rail Lateral Raises
If you have a hard time engaging your rear delts and your shoulder development is suffering for it, this technique is going to change that instantly. You will feel your rear delts contracting harder than they've ever contracted before.
#6 - Posterior Chain: Power Rack GHR Machine
The GHR (Glute/Ham Raise) machine is one of the single most effective ways to develop the posterior chain. If you don't have access to one, don't have room for one or can't afford one, you're missing out. This setup mimics it almost perfectly...and even improves on the original in many ways.
