Make sure that you take your time and warm up properly. Take at least 10-15 minutes to do a jog or a circuit with a light kettlebell to warm up the body and stretch.

It will make thing much better.

One of the worst things that you can do is to jump into your training session cold.

There are two main points to the rack position, regardless of whether you can reach elbows to hips or not.

1. Locked knees
2. Overall state of balance and relaxation

If you can achieve the above mentioned points, chances are good that your rack position is not wracking havoc on your body.

Be mindful how you feel while in rack position. It may also help to take a video or a photo and compare it to the above pictures. Ask yourself:
- is your back excessively rounded?
- are my knees locked?
- was I feeling stable and relaxed?

If not, go back to rack drills and find positioning that works better.

Remember that everyone is different, so find what works for you.

Вы правы, путь предотвращения травм лежит через правильный цикл тренировок и обучение правильной технике. Многие игнорируют подготовительную часть тренировочного цикла и начинают выполнять соревновательные упражнения не укрепив спины и не владея достаточной гибкостью суставов.
