On the straight bar, just keep your elbows out in front of your face and it’ll stay on.

The front squat without the handle attachment could have turn into some Zerchers.

I’ve done that before. If you turn the bar around on that 240 should be a lot easier to keep from falling

If it makes you feel any better, I am physically capable of front squatting at least 2 plates, but cannot get the bar in position to hold it for more than a rep.
I have to choose between being able to breathe or dropping the bar. I haven’t figured out which is more important yet. 
I saw a squat university video of the dude holding the bar on the ‘shelf’ while reading a book as a queue for shoulder/bar placement. Tried it myself, didn’t work - but I think it’s supposed to anyways… IDK, don’t ask me for my front squat PR.

I know @T3hPwnisher has used an ssb backwards before, he may have some tips on what worked for him
It looks like the camber angle on that particular model is a little different. @throwawayfitness do you know which company made that?

It does look odd. When he starts the squat the weights are above bar which is going to make it almost impossible to stop it countering forwards. My thought was is was backwards.

With straight bar you can use straps. It is a option for me, if I am going with heavier weight or if I dont forget them at home…

Normally I don’t “like/heart” endurance postings, because of religious convictions, but that’s impressive.
