They can help you mimic the form whilst improving flexibility.



You could do crossed arms if you have no honour.

this.. I always feel hella awkward doing the cross armed method, I feel that the bar is uneven because one arm is higher than the other..

Used straps today and it definitely helped with my form and my weight.

arms and shoulders should be level..... the forearms are just slightly higher than the other

When i broke my wrist and was in a cast i couldnt squat because i couldnt put my hand on the bar, my solution was to front squat, and crossarm grip and it was perfect

I feel more of a stretch on my middle finger than anything else lol

Arms and shoulders stay level.. When I say one is higher than the other its because one arm literally sits on top of the other, thus causing your arms to not be leveled. It's just that it feels awkward, but any front squat feels awkward right now because they're so new.

On another note, I crushed 245 5x5 today, made me pretty happy.. Also the first time there were a group of guys beside me on another rack that were mirin. Guy complimented me on my progress, feelz gud.

why are you using lbs you peasant

Keep it up, great work!

Because fuck you, that's why.

Hit some new milestones in my lifts, 315lbsx8 touch and go on the bench a couple of weeks ago and 405lbsx3 on the squat. Unfortunately back squatting is irritating my rotator cuffs like crazy, so I'm gonna be taking a few weeks off from lifting heavy and go into cardio/deload mode for a while. Might stop back squatting for a few months and switch exclusively to front squats. Feels bad, m9s

Just sounds like bad shoulder mobility. Try widening your grip?
