where’d you hear that? big biceps would not prevent flexibility in the racked front squat because it is not your biceps that need flexibility in that position… biceps would only block your forearms somewhat if they were big enough. and, in that video, you can’t tell if mark felix has the required flexibility or not since he doesn’t even know how to properly rack the bar on his shoulders.
stupid thread, sorry.[/quote]
I heard it from various people in my gym, weightlifters and powerlifters. They don’t advise us weightlifters to train the biceps specifically (though it’s rare already seeing a weightlifter curling) because of that reason.
About Mark Felix, aaron_lohan said it so:

I train at that gym, the reason Mark catches it like that is that due to the bulk on his chest, shoulders and biceps he can’t rack a clean properly. So if you have the flexibility to rack it onto your shoulders and keep you elbows high do that.[/quote]
I don’t know aaron_lohan so I can only wonder if it’s true or not.
