cross-arm = terrible, not possible.

Also, how the hell can you maintain the bar in a stable position? I wouldn't risk keeping the bar with just 2 fingers there... not safe enough.

No, trust me... it's impossible. There's no way these elbows come up if I still want to have a neck, head, etc.

If I knew how... yeah... I have no idea of upperbody stretches etc. If I am to pretend I keep a bar on my hands and point the elbows forward, my hands would end up somewhere in the middle neck/trapezius area. They just are very long and end up there. There's no way to hold a bar, I just don't get it.

I'd love to front squat, but the highest I can get my elbow to be is basically pointing down... so the bar sits on the chest supported by the arms. Impossible to front squat that way.

No but I thought that maybe you could work on that without your injury flaring up.

What happens if you do glute stuff like KB swings? (if you have access to a kettlebell)

What about pure glute stuff like hip thrusts?

Haha. Still it's such a big difference... it's pretty weird. I haven't tried to max out on the leg press nowadays though, so who knows how much I suck now?

I also feel a lot of posterior chain when I'm leg pressing unless I really really focus on pushing with the balls of the feet... wtf...

Pretty weird... so your leg press numbers are that weak? How come you can half squat more than me then?

I think my best leg press numbers were about 350 kg (770 lbs) x 5 or something like that, deep leg presses. And that was a LONG time ago.
