Hands matter when squatting with a low bar position! Many grip adjustments are made when students are learning the low bar back squat. If mobility allows, the lifter must keep the grip close to the shoulders to maintain tension in the upper back. Elbows tips, or olecranon processes, must be pulled down to add even more upper back tension. This helps to create a “shelf” of tissue for the bar to securely rest. A false grip must be used so that the base of the palm supports the majority of the bar, while all 10 fingers wrap over the bar for added support. Lastly, maintain a neutral wrist position to prevent any unnecessary load distribution to the wrist joint. Letting the wrist extend under the barbell will add another lever, or moment arm, to the lift. This takes energy away from the important musculature, and poses the risk of acute or chronic pain/injury in the wrist joint.
