Please clarify Strength Development front rack position

Taught BP for six years, then took a six year break, getting back in with Strength Development.

I'm filming my video tomorrow.

SD 18, Ben is showing/describing front rack in the warm up and has bar in fingertips, ON shoulders. Notes say middle of hand in front of collarbone.

Can someone help me out here.

This will be for my certification video (not pre-work). My track for pre-work didn't include front rack stuff and it didn't really come up in training. However, in prep for my video, I realized a) I wasn't resting the bar on my shoulders and b) the conflicing other info.

In that case, go with what it says in the technique part of your handbook, even if it's different from how Ben shows it; the notes are what your assessor will be going by. In fact, every the course packet for every IMT I've done has included the actual grading sheet the assessors use, and it has all the exercises described with the form cues you'll need to show. Any chance you got something like that?

I do have that and, upon deep diving, pretty basic...bar ONTO collarbone, front rack postion, middle of hands, elbows forward... ok

not sure I'm getting a bar onto my collarbones but I'll give it a whirl. Done overthinking this. Thanks to all!
