Hi. I am new to this, and find it challenging, especially as I am going heavy, as my previous Front Squats were with KBs and double 24's and 28's.
I am doing Z-squats 60-90 kgs (BW-80 kgs) for a few sets of doubles.
I find that I keep the tension all the way down till the bar is around an inch above my thighs. I then brings the elbows down and get the bar to rest on the thighs before moving up. I find that this last inch costs me tension, and makes me weaker.
So do I stop a wee bit above rock bottom and keep the tension, allowing me to take more loads, or is the bar-on-thighs standard bottom position that must be held??
