front squats

[Bently]

Who does them and how do you hold the bar securely...crossed arms or just back in the 'clean' postion?
I want to start doing them regularly but just cannot get a good grip.

I used the smith rack for about 6 months until I found my "groove" and "grip" then I moved to the squat rack-crossed arms is most comfortable for me and yes its a weird motion that will take some time to get used to

Crossed arms here. Have done them w/ free bar as well as on a smith. You shoulders will hurt after doing them.

in the clean postion. Free or Smith(usuallyfree). Awkward exercise, but worth it IMO.

I love front squats....I think I'll do them tonight. I do them arms crossed.

if need ba just get a nice thick towell to secure it better and protect the shoulders
