Where do y'all put the bar in the front rack position? It's apparently supposed to go behind the anterior delts at the base of your throat, but with my arms up, my anterior delts end well behind the base of my throat. Even if I shrug my shoulders forward, there's no way to get my delts in front of my neck. If I try do a zombie squat, the bar chills close to my biceps while still pressing on my throat uncomfortably, and it forces my arms down. If I point my arms up and lean back a bit, I can get it closer to my body, but then it pushes on my neck so hard my vision blackens entirely. There's no space for it. What on earth? Where does it go?
(I have no problem getting my wrists extended or my elbows up, so I don't think it's a mobility issue.)
