How are my front squats looking?

I'm having trouble keeping the bar in place for a long time. The bar will start rolling around 5-6 reps.

That's too expensive just to squat.

Man, I love the look of your gym. I miss that in Singapore. My Gold's gym in Santa Clara was the best.....

Front squats look great buddy! As for the rolling of the bar are you wrapping your thumbs around the barbell? That's what I do and it helps to hold it in place.

I have been training coming up on 6 years and have made some great gainz. I've done a lot of trial and error on myself as well as learned from others and through research online. I've come along way in strength and size since I've started. I will continue to learn and make myself better each day.

Damn... I'm so focused on keeping my chest up that I'm just laying my fingers on the bar. Lol. Going to front squat tomorrow, hopefully it'll go better. Thanks man! I'll keep you updated.

Much better this time. I couldn't fit my thumb under the bar, but I pressed the bar tight against my body, no more rolling.
