Who, ironically, can't use it until June 23. Because that's when the Zac-penalty ends. __________________

Have you tried Zercher squats? They rock. Don't let the elbow discomfort scare you off, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. __________________

Honestly have not. I've read about a lot of the guys doing them on these forums, perhaps will give it a go. I've done the BB cross arms style of front squat but I can't rack the bar for crap. My want to do cleans, and I get the impression that the other type of front squat allows for a person to carry more weight. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

Freeman try using straps on front squats. Thread the straps around the bar and make a D shape with them then wind them on your hands nice and tight....you're good to go....this is what I do due to poor wrist flexibility...

I'm not sure whether clean-position front squats would allow you to use more weight than cross-arms front squats. But for me, at least, I can do way more weight with Zerchers than with either of those. __________________

If you can improve your flexibility to where you can clean grip your fronts, it'll help your push press/jerk immensely. I started out lacking the flexibility to clean grip my fronts, but worked on it a ton and it's now the only way I'd even think of front squatting.
(NOTE TO TAYON: ^^^THAT APPLIES TO YOU, TOO.)
Zerchers are, of course, wonderful, as well. __________________
