Hey Guys,
I posted that i am having a little trouble with front squats in mt log but through it should have its own discussion, so here it is...
When doing front squats, for those that do them, what sort of grip do you use as i find it can be quite awkward.
I am currently using palms facing up letting the bar rest over my fingers keeping the elbows up, if that makes sense....
Cheers
Neddy

I use the front rack position, hands just outside shoulders, elbows pointing inwards. Bar sits just on the finger tips, and behind the front delts/on the throat.
^ not a bad clip, demo's the straps well
However after he made the point about being even on the bar several times, either he wasn't even on the bar or the centre knurling is out.
Ride29er, if your back is arching it's because you are dropping your elbows. A good stretch for this is to have the bar in the rack, walk I in to it like you are going to pick it up for a front squat. Then have a buddy put their hands on the bar outside yours, then put their shoulders under your elbows and gently stand up. The bar shouldn't leave the rack, so they need to put downward pressure on it as they stand. As your elbows come up make sure your hips don't come forward. Hope that makes sense..
