    David: You wouldn´t happen to know a video or other visual demo of the stroke you talk about as an alternative to doing the EVF catch?

    Everyone did in fact provide great advice on the front rack, but this was exactly what I meant! I´ll look into the posterior delt issue. I have also been wondering if it´s because I have long forearms in relation to the upper arm? Protracting kind of “artificially lenghtens” my upper arm, if that makes any sense? But then again, I´ll look into the posterior delts first and see if some work there might make things easier. And mind the torque first…… =)

    Thanks!

    It´s not really an issue of elbows dropping. It´s more that if i retract my shoulders, I lose “the shelf” upon which the bar rests. When retracting my shoulder the bar will be resting on the upper part of my humerus instead of the deltoid and thus, I can´t support the bar.

    I can however, when I protract my shoulders. But from what I understand this is an unstable shoulder position for front squatting?

    Wrist/finger mobility is good, I tried both wide and narrow grip.

    Thanks!

    Arms straight out like one of the front rack progressions or fingers (clean grip). Again if I protract my shoulders I can hold it but retracting I feel i loose the base on which the bar rests so it falls out in front of me.

    Thanks alot for the video links!

    I´m with you on creating torque first and external rotation… I think.. =)

    However, I´m still a bit unsure about the shoulders protracting or retracting. As I said when i retract even though the torque and rotation stuff is taken care of, I still seem to be unable  to hold the bar up.

    The only way is if I protract, but if I understand it right, this seems to be a bad idea. It kind of looks like the position Kelly talks about in Episode 41 at 2:29
