You should NOT be holding the bar with your hands on a front squat. |
The weight is resting on my shoulders. We had to do 10 one on one sessions with the coaches before we could start the workouts. One of them was dedicated to front squat, which I'd never done before.
Catching cleans might be a problem when I do clean & press. I can't really blame crossfit, though. I may have been doing them wrong since high school.
The other lifts that are new to me are snatches and overhead squat. I've been doing pretty light weight with these because they're new, but I've recently started adding a little bit of weight.
