What stretches should I be doing to help? I've seen the California strength video when you hold the bar in a rack and someone else pushes you elbows up but as I train on my own this isn't possible. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Another thing I found useful is to use a light or average band and stand on it and hold it in the rack position (one hand at a time) for 20 seconds or so. Hope that is of some use to you.

His levers get the bar up.

Eg a shelf, bench, pins in the rack. Theres loads!

Just a simple youtube search returned these . I`m not endorsing any of this bullst . just pick the bones out of all this st from these random youtube channel geeks.

My best advice would be "Start Weightlifting when your around 11/12" But i guess its a little late for you.
