    It’s not even my elbows it’s the pain I get in my wrists when performing a front squat

      Same issue than elbow pain. The pain is reflected on your wrists or elbows because of lack of mobility. So stretch your lats and tris before fs.
      Also try zombie squats.

      Yeah same here, I started doing these stretches, I also like putting a band at a high spot of the squat rack or wherever up high, then with one arm, facing away from the band, then stretching that arm up and over the shoulder helps to. My wrist pain slowly going away.

    Thank you, I’ve been waiting for this! Need to do some lat work. Please can you make a video on rounded shoulder? I have rounded shoulder on one side only and don’t know how to correct it

      Same here, my thoracic rounding is so bad that it almost prohibits me from doing bent over rows because of how unstable and uneven it feels.

    Does length of limbs come into play with this position. Like how some people have to lean over more to do a squat than other due to different lengths of femur etc. For instance ... ?

    Also: check your thoracic mobility and fortitude of core bracing.

    I really like the lat stretch; However I do the one where I twist whilst holding onto the squat rack

    I tend to use about 3 fingers as a backstop while the bar sits in the groove created by my clavicle and shoulders. Gripping the bar just won't allow for my elbows to get high enough and it ends up sitting away from my neck further than I'd like.

    i can parallel my elbow to the ground, get down and get up, but the hand distance to shoulder is different. one hand closer than the other. 😂

    the ulnar nerves on both of my elbows are very tight, do you have any thing for that?

  • @khmak9387

    I can get my elbows high. But for some reason, I can't seem to "fold" my forearms as flat as shown in most videos.

    I struggle to do them due to a broken clavicle and my collar bone stick out too much it causes pain on the bone. Even with a padded surface pain is still a problem. Any tips?

    @SquatUniversity I have a messed up neck due to a car accident. I can't squat with weight on my neck, is front squat better for the neck pain?

  • @matthewhughes3147
    @matthewhughes3147 Рік тому

    Just move your hands closer, you only have so much external rotation at the shoulder to work with

    Thank God. I did front squats with them resting on my shoulders and my arms crossed

    Yea lat flexibility is not the issue for me, its more so my massive biceps and forearms preventing my wrists and elbows from making solid contact with the bar.

    What if you're just weak in that part of the lift? Is it weakness in the back/scapula?

      Don't jam the bar back so much, it's supposed to rest on your front delts.

    Who uses lifting straps for deadlift. Weakens your grip.

    • @chaosdisciple3052

      Who?
      World class powerlifters, bodybuilders, Olympians, and basically anyone who doesn't want to limit their back development by their grip strength.
      They all use straps as soon as grip becomes the limiting factor in their training.
