  • Yeah I was talking about overhand being the culprit, in my case at least. You can try mixing it up (over/under/neutral) or just going with neutral grip the whole time and see how those elbows feel? Rings work well too as they rotate naturally through the movement

  • Have you been doing pullups in your calisthenics? I find with doing pullups regularly I can definitely feel it in my elbows if I don't throw in some neutral grip / ring pullups instead of the straight bar. Just a thought

  • Tactical Barbell Zulu/HT W1D4

    • Bench press 4 x 5 @ 190lbs
    • Deadlift 3 x 10 @ 230lbs
    • Dip 3 x 12 @ 210lbs bw
    • Dumbbell curl 3 x 12 @ 35lbs
    • Back extension 3 x 12 @ 25lbs

    That was my first week of this program, it feels like a pretty good amount of volume and enjoying it so far

  • Tactical Barbell Zulu/HT W1D3

    • Zercher squat 4 x 5 @ 225lbs
    • Behind the neck press 4 x 10 @ 85lbs
    • Pull up 3 x 12 @ 210lbs bw
    • Dumbell row 3 x 12 @ 45lbs
    • Hanging leg raises 3 x 12

    Much prefer the 5 rep squats vs the 10 reps

  • They are kind of uncomfortable on your elbows where you're holding the barbell. But I put a little bit of pipe insulation on there and it no trouble. It's a little bit of a wider stance and I find it simpler technique wise. Basically just sitting down and standing up, overall I feel it's a little simpler than back squats. Hopefully they work out for you

  • I switched to zerchers, for me they seem to work perfectly. I can get all the way down without any struggle and my back feels amazing. I imagine front squats would be very similar. My 1rm was about 340lbs for back squat and now for zerchers its 300, but it took a few months to build up to it
