My wrists are always bent when I squatI couldnt do it any other way my elbows would be above my head if I had to keep my wrists straight.
Are you stretching your wrists and hands out before lifting? I find, especially when power cleaning or front squatting, I need to spend 5 mins stretching out my hands and wrists so I can catch/hold the bar.
The pictured grip makes sense for presses (bench, overhead) but its not really practical for all the lifts.
Pistachio, I'm a bit confused with your post. Are you back squatting or front squatting?
The shot you've posted is confusing me even more. It looks like someone pressing a bar overhead rather than squatting with it. Sorry about that.
Fadi.
Pistachio, I don't see this as a wrist flexibility issue but a shoulder one instead. The wrist comes in when front squatting.
One way to remedy this problem would be for you to place your hands right against the inside of the bar, (all the way out to the side), in addition to doing some shoulder dislocation with a broom or a towel and also streching of your chest muscles...
Fadi.
I bought a broom stick from Woolies just to do Shoulder Dislocations. I do them every night, I want to overhead squat damn it!
thanks mate, i'll give the closer grip a crack, and keep hammering at the dislocations...
are you supposed to be able to have normal grip when doing dislocations (no way can do!), or just hold between thumb and first finger is normal?
