First some background. This all started as a simple message conversation between myself and @wiseman83 . Those of you that read my log will know I am not a big fan of front squats and rarely do them.

Is a zercher squat acceptable? My wrists are F’d from years of baseball and now BJJ. I’ve been hitting 5x225 consistently, but want to get back up to a double at 315.

Not sure if this would help but I did front squats in this style when I couldn’t get into a stable front rack. Might make the movement a touch easier but doesn’t change it much [Front Squat with Straps]

It’s not so much I can’t get in the position, it’s just painful for my wrists. No worries, I can suck it up for before and after videos.

Any kind of front squat is ok as long as it’s consistent. You could try an SSB backwards, pretty sure @T3hPwnisher does those.

I don’t know if my knee could hold up to that kind of fun.

Is it something you could work around with sleeves ?

Progress is hard with good dept. That is what you get with rebuilt parts. But I could give it a shot.

I totally understand. You do what you can.
