Do any of you guys wrap your hands around the plates when you squat??

Wrap your pinky under the bar on the same side as your thumb. This will help immensely. Look closely and you can see me doing it.  Lord knows Ive got my share of bicep/elbow/forearm issues

I see, how comfortable is that?

it makes a world of difference but you'd have to actually squat to ever be able to tell how much....




so you'll just have to take it from the big boyz like jason and me and trust that it works !

Jason dwarfs you, even when you are "on".

you're lucky we even take the time to answer your "elementary" training questions



a simple thank you from time to time would suffice..

thanks man this shit is starting to kill me, i'm nowhere near the level of squatting that you are but even my little piddly 5 plates for 4-5 is giving my hands fits, i tried just holding the bar near my fingertips earlier this week and it helped a lot, no pain in my hands or bicep tendons.

You wont even notice it. It will feel a bit odd at first, but give it a session or tw and your biceps will thank you.

i've got to do something to take the pressure off my hands, bicep tendons and elbows, this shit is starting to kill me, i usually grip with a thumbs on the same side as my fingers medium grip, thinking of switching to draping my hands out wide over the plates.

are you still training at Gold's?
