Highlights of Show #9 Part B

Cathe answers the following questions from our Cathe TV forum:

1. I'm having trouble keeping the bar in place without pain during front squats in Meso 3. I'm using 85 lbs on the bar for this exercise and that weight is bruising my upper arms/shoulders and is a huge stress on my hands when I try to hold it in place, particularly for my thumbs. I've tried the criss-crossed hand position and that hurts too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -

2. Loving STS. Who knew I could bench press 65lbs!!!. I have a question, how do you stop your elbows from flaring when doing the Flat Bench Tricep Extensions? Could you demonstrate the proper form on Cathe TV? Thanks. - Yvonne

The front squat question was precisely the one I wanted to ask-- thanks! Haven't gotten to Meso 3 yet but stress on my thumbs was an issue for me while doing this move in the 1 rep max tests.
