i ...finallly... figured out the rack position! i ended up placing my hands a bit wider than i would normally grip, and things sort of snapped in place. that and my shoulder flexibility must have increased. i have a couple small bruises from laying the bar on my upper chest/shoulders, but hey, a small price to pay.

i love front squats now, and i never thought i'd say that, because i could never do them. now that i have the rack position figured out, i can see how beneficial front squats can be! the balance, coordination, agility and athleticism required to correctly perform them is awesome. thank ya!
