I have been playing with one arm, overhead squats lately. Starting out I had quite a bit of difficulty getting down "all the way" I think due to thoracic and maybe shoulder mobility issues. By gently working this with lowish weight I have loosened up quite a bit and can get to a bit below femurs parallel to ground no problem.
Looking around the interwebs I find people insisting you "must keep your eyes on the bell" and others insisting you "must keep head straight and eyes front".
After finding that contradiction floating around out there I have tried them both ways, eyes on the bell and eyes front, and this morning mixed them i.e. eyes front to "bottom" then look up at the bell. I can go at least a couple inches deeper looking at the bell though not sure why.
Is there an SFG form standard for these or any reason to prefer one over the other?
