Front squating question?

[kunta]

When you do front squats are you placing the bar on your shoulders by your throat or flipping the bar over with your hands with palms facing the ceiling?

?? weird question. I do both! my palms face the ceiling, the bar is on my front delts, but pressed up to my neck. my hands are open (but you could close them if you are flexible enough)

I think he means using a cross armed grip like Ronnie Coleman in The Unbelievable vs an Oly style grip (right?).

no, i get lightheaded with deads mostly, sometimes back squats, but never front. but i'd imagine that varies from person to person
