The only other compensation I occasionally see is wrist stiffness either due to decreased wrist extension mobility or due to really tight forearm flexors!

Overall, this is a really great post by @muscleengineered

!
⠀
A common compensation with the front squat is not being able to maintain the high elbow position. Of course there are other reasons as to why this may happen besides the reasons I provided above.
⠀
The muscles that if tight will inhibit the shoulder to optimally flex while front squatting. The two muscles are the latissimus dorsi which attaches to the humerus and the tricep long head which attaches to the shoulder.
⠀
Thoracic extension can also impact mobility of the shoulder. Flexing the shoulder in a upright position such as the front squat, will need t-spine extension to have adequate shoulder flexion to keep those elbows high especially with a bar across your shoulders and upper chest.
⠀
Stay tuned for my next post where I show you guys how to get those muscle and areas more mobile to get that high elbow position!
⠀
Comment below your thoughts, experiences, tips on how you can overcome the dropped elbow.

Research Application from @evidencebasedmvmt ———————————————————
Amazing infographic to keep for reference. There are many ways to continue to train. Of course we have to remember that people should learn when movements ARE tolerable WITHOUT making compensations due to pain, not feeling immediately fearful of minor presences of symptoms.

That being said, for this week’s application we thought we would share a progressive overload scheme for training around knee pain as this is a condition often seen in clinic! While we’ve shown a variety of exercises that increase in demand on the knee joint, a variety of remaining exercises may be supplemented along the continuum. For example, often times gravity based positions such as squat ♂️ variations may not be tolerated initially and thus an exercise in a gravity minimized position such as the leg press may be appropriate .

Dynamic stretching is completely fine and it continues to be recommended as an active warm-up before lifting / working out. Static stretching, however, is not ideal before lifting & @dr.afehr.dpt made a great post about why!
・・・
Do you stretch before you lift weights or participate in a sporting event? Did you know it’s possible you may be impairing your performance?
__
There’s a phenomenon called stretch induced strength loss – literally meaning you get temporarily weaker following a bout of stretching. This has been identified to occur with both static and contract-relax style ♀️stretching. However, it does not occur with dynamic stretching
__
How much do you need to stretch for it to occur? The strength loss has been noted when stretching for durations of 60 seconds or greater ⬆️ and even with total stretch time under 4 minutes. However, short stretch durations of 30 seconds don’t ♂️ appear to elicit the effect
__
How significant is the effect? Well, on average for -long- stretch durations (30-60 min) there was a 22% loss in strength while for shorter durations there was an avg of 8% loss. When it comes to performance the effect was noted to translate into a 3-4% decrease in vertical jump performance
__
Why does it occur? There’s a variety of theories but the prevailing one is that it interferes with the function of the corresponding nerves (nerves are stretched & lengthened ♀️ along with muscles) & this is supported as the effect is seen even in the limb not being stretched
__
❗️What does this mean for you and stretching?
__
1️⃣ If you are concerned with performance and have the option, dynamic stretching will usually be a better choice to implement
2️⃣ If you still like to include stretching as part of your warm-up before lifting/athletic tasks you will probably want to keep it brief (under 30 seconds) and perform warm-up sets (that work the muscle you just stretched) right after as that helps slightly counteract the effect
