I kinda like these but they're much more mentally taxing than high bar squats for whatever reason, so I cut them from my program. I seem to be able to put up 80-90% of my high bar squat on these even if I haven't done them in ages so it's probably fine. Obviously ATG on both
I found the key is to have your fingers splaying out towards the plate, and elbows in.
Probably common practice.
Still, it's going to take time before I get used to it. Right now the fingers/wrist pain is the deciding factor, so I do other hard leg movements after.
I always thought I just wasn't built for front squat but I wasn't just used to them. Went pretty quick from 50kg to 120kg front squat, my back squat 1RM is 180kg
all the weight is on your shoulders/chest
wtf are you talking about
if you feel any pain in your arms that means you are leaning forward - dont do that
but the wrists in the image are white
means they're literally so bent they're not letting blood through
and the hand being so red means blood is getting trapped there

I like these too, but can't load up as much, and also never really got the grips right.
Its more about lifting elbows up an exaggerated amount. So the bar sits on your shoulder more. Dont fuck up your wrists on these
have you tried zercher squat?
implying you have the wrist mobility
It doesn't require much wrist mobility.

You should not feel either finger nor wrist pain in the front rack. Roll out and stretch your lats, rear delts and triceps.
butt wink?
Basically a pussy squat if you don't want to move a lot of weight

I don't feel confortable having my wrists in that position with so much weight so close.
Start light and work up from there.
