Hi. The main dilemma is whether to push the chin forward while OH squatting. I've always do dl's and back squats with chins out, i've noticed doing this arches the spine more and feels natural and strong. Though recently i've noticed chins are not put out or the eyes not fixed at the ceiling at front, as taught in PTTP.
I do OH squats with slightly more than shoulder grips and snatch grips, with chest up and not shrugging the shoulders but more like how comrade Brett Jones recommended assuming the shoulders like elastic. I realized when i put out my chin i can squat deeper. it's not like the chin out assists with deeper OH squat but rather the chin out is the factor to squatting deeper. i've checked with Rippetoe's video on OH squat where he asked to keep the head down and i don't think that's right. I liked Dan John's video as he stressed on keeping the chins out to take a punch.
Please suggest or give me the whole nine yards on OH squatting.
Thanks
