I just got my copy of Men's Health "Power Training" written by 2006 NSCA collegiate strength coach Robert Dos Remedios today and not five minutes into reading it I found the instructional on the front squat. Remedios showed two alternate hand positions for people with bad wrists and elbows. Now since I literally cannot bend my right arm enough to even hold the bar I tired the lifting strap method. You just put a strap on the bar where it contacts the delts and hold the straps (one for each hand) with your hands instead of the bar. Elbow position etc is the same as the snatch grip. Works fuk'in awesome. I'm so excited.
I'm going to do a review of the book soon but I can say with confindence this may be the best power training for sports book I've ever read and I've read a lot of stuff the past year and half trying to find a new way to keep on keeping on.

Sorry for the thread hijack, but I have a front squat related question. Is there a real difference between zercher squats and front squats? I can't for the life of me hold onto the bar during front squats. Are zercher squats an exercise that would yield similar results? I wanted to work one of the two into my routine. Thank you.
