Squat day change of 2nd Squatting movement
Front squat
There are many different ways to hold the bar, very good if you can get your elbows high enough to hold the bar in a Olympic clean position (across the front delt’s close to the throat).
If not, like me that’s not an option. All good if you have a GS front Squat Harness but if not, what can you do? Click here for Front Squat Options
The another alternative if those options don’t work is the Zercher Squat. Still an excellent way to fire the posterior chain. It does have it’s share of difficulties to perform as well, mainly being very rough inside of the elbows. A thick bar makes it a lot less painful or wrapping the bar with a thick towel also helps.
