Re: i cant do proper squat technique

I dont think this is hi-jacking this thread but with regards to front squats...

I have tried 3 methods of holding the bar, with the typical Olympic lifter grip (which I lack the flexibility to do) using straps to make up for that, and with arms crossed in front.

None of these are comfortable, when I cross my arms the bar position actually makes my shoulders bleed which isnt that comfortable.

If I use the other two, when I get to the bottom of the movement I actually choke myself on the bar , but if i move the bar further away from my neck it moves my centre of gravity too far forward.

Anyway not sure what im expecting in reply but I hope someone has an idea how i can change it?
