If front squats or cleans leave your wrists throbbing or your elbows pointing toward the floor, it’s not just poor form — it’s probably a mobility issue. At BayWay CrossFit in Baytown, we see this all the time. Athletes of all levels struggle with the front rack position, and most of the time, it’s not about wrist flexibility. It’s tight triceps, stiff lats, or a locked-up thoracic spine causing all the trouble. That’s why this week’s Technique Tuesday is all about front rack mobility. We’re walking through two simple drills you can use before class, after training, or at home to improve your front rack and reduce strain on your wrists and shoulders.

At BayWay CrossFit, we see it every day. Members walk in carrying the weight of work, parenting, deadlines, stress, and sometimes grief. And they leave lighter, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. The Mental Health Benefits of Exercise Are Real Science backs it up: movement releases endorphins, lowers cortisol, and helps regulate dopamine and serotonin, all the stuff your brain craves when you’re feeling anxious, angry, or overwhelmed. But beyond the brain chemistry, there’s something powerful about what happens in a CrossFit class that can’t be replicated on a therapy couch. You disconnect from the chaos. You push through something hard. You surprise yourself. You connect with people who actually get it. “I Just Feel Better After Class” We hear that all the time....
