Anybody doing front squats? I cannot seem to get my arms in the proper location to do the exercise properly. Any pointers?
If you get those late night cravings like I do, keep a pound or two of deli sliced turkey in your ice box. It's low calorie, no carbs, and fills the void.
How do you have your arms?
This is the video I've watched on proper form, but I think I've seen other arm positions used before.

It took me a while to get the proper form. I always felt that was an odd position for my wrists to be in. What helped me was doing very light weights until I got the form down.

Welcome back!
You can't change the past, you can only change what you do NOW. Don't dwell on "falling off the wagon" instead, just make sure you do something good today, don't worry about tomorrow or yesterday.
Maybe just use dumb bells instead?
Thanks, but I found a video that gave three different hand positions.
Without seeing you do them I would guess your issue is likely shoulder mobility. I back and front squat regularly and BY FAR the most prolific issue is lack of mobility. Front Squat Mobility - Tabata Times Dr Kelly Starrett is a genius at addressing these issues.Yeah, but I can't get in that position even with just the bar. I'm wondering if there is an alternative position?
Can you post it?
I've never seen the 3rd variation, I know a couple of people that could use that. You should squat to where your hit joint is at or below the knee joint. Hers are a little bit more than half squats.Here you go.
