What are the benefits of doing these as opposed to normal squats or front squats?

What are the benefits of doing these as opposed to normal squats or front squats?

They hit the abs, hips, hams, quads, and erectors...all differently. It just feels different and I do them from time to time for a 2ndary exercise...

Looks good for a round-back lifter did you start doing these to perform better on the Conan Wheel because the grip seems very similiar? Looks pretty good

They really don't help with the conan's wheel at all...they just feel good and will make me stronger. They might actually help with the atlas stones a lot...I'll see soon...

how are you holding the bar? is the bar resting on the higher part of your forearms while your hands are wrapped up on the bar?

I take my right hand and grab my left thumb...palms facing...left hand on the inside. The bar sits in the crooks of my elbows...

Try it...

B-Fold,

I have never done squats this way. I normally use 225 for a real deep 15-20 nice and slow. A little background so you know where I am.
What weight is reasonable to start with, grip considering? Know what I mean?

 

[b fold the truth]

You should be able to do 135 fairly easily....

It takes a certain amount of weight just to keep me in balance...
