I've recently switched over to more of a powerlifting squat form. My stance is wider, the weight further down on my traps.
On two occasions i've had the bar start to slip down my back. In each case i was able to hang on, lean forward a bit and catch it but with 315lbs up there is was a little disconcerting.
Also, with the bar that far down (mid trap level, maybe 4-5" below where it would sit on top of my shoulders) my flexibility is too poor to put my hands anywhere but on the furthest ends of the bar (i'm 6'5" so i have a long wingspan) is that okay or should i raise it up some until my flexibility improves?
Thanks for any tips.
