wtf according to that he only started training for athletics in October 2011 and started to "solely focus on the sport." in Jan 2012.

Well like I said - if I were to keep the elbows high then my reach with the palms/fingers would be behind my back... somewhere around the trapezius. So that's where the bar should be in order for me to keep the elbows high. It's basically impossible to do with the bar on the shoulders.

just grip the bar wider, seriously

Lu Xiaojun is my idol. He has the best physique in the world.

Also, I remember this. It was such BS when they didn't let him take his third snatch.

I'm reading through t-nation articles about the subject...

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/front_squats_made_easier

Any other advice? I have very long forearms so the bar would have to sit in the middle of my neck if it is to stay on the fingers... but I'm also unflexible in the upperbody.

So who knows what my problems are.

If you have long forearms you just place your hands wider on the bar. That's covered in Starting Strength, I think. Look up the mobility wod stuff for rack position, he's got a bunch of videos about it.

how is this thread three days old and no one has posted a kf squat yet?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U08pdMzjKUo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U08pdMzjKUo</a>

because front angles look better

edit: this led me to watch the only publicly viewable video kf has up. It's highly recommended.

Anyone know any good sources/articles discussing the relationship between these? Like hypothetically if I got a wicked good side split and front split, would that make my active straddle (i.e. in front lever, back lever and planche) much wider? Would my squats be way better?

Would that mean that being heavy will inevitably make you stronger?

No. (If p then q) does not imply (if q then p).
