Quick Tips: Place Yoke bar towards the bottom loop but rack it on the rack safety hooks. Need to safely unrack yoke bar as you would do to perform a squat.
Key is to hold the straps and think of it as a horizontal push versus trying to push yoke bar pad up like a squat. Push head back horizontally towards wall versus up towards ceiling.
Muscles worked: Posterior chain from top to bottom. Thoracic extension. Great for people looking to improve their rounded posture.
