What is your best Front Squat?
Front squats are great exercises.

What is your PR?

Obviously you must go BELOW a "powerlifting" legal depth. A walkout and unlocking the knees does not a front squat make.

I'll go first: 350 lbs

Damn, I felt special when I put up 275 a few months back, but in my defense I only weigh about 185.

506, so far 315x8lb it's the pain of keeping the bar in place that has kept me from going heavier so i always pussed out, i'm going to get some of those manta ray thingy's that go on the bar to help keep it in place without it really hurting.

How many of you guys use the elbows up grip (not sure what esle to call it) vs a arms crossed grip?

I can't use the elbows up grip worth a DANM! So I have generally used the arms crossed grip. Best would probably be 305x3, not sure I could get it right now as I haven't done them in awhile and I lose strength and technique on this one quick. This lift IMO ranks up there with one of the most painful.

get a front squat harness . that was my issue and the reason why i stopped doing them. it was choking me out and it hurt my shoulders holding it there.

I tie 100lbs or so to my waist, like dip belt. Takes the stress off my wrists, and I'm able to do them without a squat rack (which I currently don't have access to)

Do you guys put the bar on your shoulders and cross your arms so that your palms are on your delts or do you rest the bar in your palms?
