Hey Kingfish,

You were talking about the paused squat... I'm currently doing regular HIGH bar squats (without a pause) and kinda suck terribly at them.

If you were me would you go with an even lower weight and do them paused, continue doing them the way I do them, or switch to a low bar squat?

i get at least +20-30lbs if i don't kill the momentum.

When is the last time you tried it?

It doesn't work that way. Usually, being able to do paused squats well doesn't mean you're going to use a much higher weight doing squats without a pause.

Thanks!

Then I guess it's going to be figuring out what to do to maintain a straight, vertical body, since going down will make me lean forward quite a bit (it does right now).

OK, I'll film it now in my home but I don't have an Olympic barbell, just a 10 kg bar. But I guess good enough to picture it.

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

I tried it and it's even worse :P

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.
