Currently I cannot get into low bar position due to flexibility. I have been stretching since January and I can now get into a high bar position (uncomfortably) with a pinky to pinky spacing of 36”, thumbless grip, and “straight” wrists.
If if I use a thumb grip, and extended wrists, I can comfortably get into high bar.
I know narrower is better than wider for spacing, and a straight wrist is better too.
Realistically what are my options?
stick to high bar? Use a wider spacing? Do I keep stretching, or have I reached maximum stretch? Do I consider safety bar squats? Or perhaps fabricating some type of handles to attach to the bar?
I do have a leg press/hack squat machine. I know low bar squats are supreme, but in addition to being old and fat, I have really, really stiff and inflexible shoulders.
Just feeling frustrated.
