Greetings,
For various reasons I won't go into now I am limited to how much weight i can squat. I usually squat LB or with a SSB for a bit of variety. So rather than plug away at lower weights I thought I'd have a crack at OHsquatting.
I've had a look online and read up on the basics but I'd like to hear from you guys-
-technique tips, it feels a very alien movement.
-mobility issues, my shoulder flexibility is poor. Band work, stretches- what worked for you?
-foot placement, I seem to need a much wider stance than my regular stance, is this normal?
-hand /grip width, vary it- see what works or is there a reason to avoid too narrow/wide?
-depth, I've read that I should start with partial squats until my flexibility improves?
-head position, should it always be in front of my elbows etc?
-pauses, boxes, any of these good for learning?
That's all all I can think of at the moment.
Any input appreciated.
