Some people struggle with them at first because they don't like the grip or the bar sticks in their throat but if you get your chest and elbows up and the bar resting on your clavicles it isn't nearly as arduous as some people make out. Certainly good for quad strength. | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | many ways of looking at it: powerlifter - as an assistance exercise to develop quad power strongman - assistance exercise for numerous events from stones to log to whatever oly lifting - self evident lift in its own right - its a cool lift  etc... | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 03.07.2007 @ 10:48 AM Its a great exercise. I personally don't do em as I havn't the flexiblity to perform them in the clean position and the arms crossed way knackers my shoulder, and hence impacts my benching. Shame as I would do them regulary as a quad movement to supplement my squat training. | ||

I'd rather have them on a light squat day, or anything else but thats just me. Good move though! | ||
