ha ha look who it is.. i was gonna ddress this thread to you but havent seen you in awhile lol..

im not really sure i went super lite on them just to get feel..foot placement? is it better to go below parallel? (saw coleman doing these in his video and seems to stop right about para keeping constant tension on those quads) throw in any thoughts BD!!!

beast,
I use to love'em until i tore my left knee up doing them. I love the sweep they give your quads. I probably did them for close to a year, but now am a little gun shy about trying them again.

damn bro sorry bout that..would you say they were harder on your knees than reg squats?

Myself, I go as deep as possible. Foot placement just like a regular squat (whatever is comfortable).

One thing I do is cross over my arms, instead of holding the bar like I just finished a clean...a little easier on the wrists. That's about the only thing I do differently from most people.

Not much else to say about it...

I do zerchers now instead of front squats. When I did them though I used a fairly wides stance and really focused on getting my hips back so I could get down to full depth.
