Finding double 20kg front squats difficult

@theweebabyjesus Order a cheap 16 yesterday…. Thanks.

@brownie I would say get the 16kg to make a pair, buy a second hand one, carry on doing that until you are doing the squat comfortably as it only takes a split second to damage something that will take time to heal. I find myself in similar situation where I feel comfortable with one weight in one exercise and higher/lighter weight for another exercise. My 2 cents .

@dallaskay I agree with this. Also I don’t think you will ever outgrow a pair of 16s.

@dallaskay Ordered another 16 yesterday…..

@brownie Perhaps you can try a different squat variation? Put the KBs on your shoulders instead of holding them in the front rack. It makes it a bit more like a back squat.

@emm Put them on my shoulders?! I’m not familiar with that position…

@brownie Could be wrong, but I think I saw someone call it a transformer squat.
