I hit a PR on them today of 255lbs from the bottom position. (Ass damn near on the floor.) I need to be at least at 315lbs by this August.

I wrap three towels around the bar when I lift. Much easier on the elbows. I will be picking up a 3" tube to put around the bar this weekend.

What is the purpose of this exercise? It looks like a test of pain tolerance

It hits your quads more dircectly than high bar or box squats, and is also a good lift for working your back in a rounded position as opposed to arched.

Thanks for the answer, Joker. And I thought front squats were hard...
