Two words: Narrow stance. :D It's impossible to do a front squat and not push the knees forward if your stance is less than shoulder width. It feels like you're falling forward if you try to do it hips first. However, with a wider stance the hips DO go back first... Oh, and I know now why the knees go forward first!

Preferably one of the large timer clocks that they have over swimming pools. Front squats just won't be the same though :) That clip suggested one major (and cheap) addition to the gym - a clock.

Perhaps I'll indeed join for some accessory work one of these days. Also nice to see you do front squats as I have planned on starting to do quite a lot of them as soon as the Sting Ray I ordered last week arrives. :-) Not sure if this is something peculiar to the front squats or just your style, but you have a distinct two-phased movement in there: push knees forward, then sit down. Perhaps it's just my brain being washed with powerlifting ideas, but I'd try to sit back first. But who knows what they'll look like in practice... ;-) Anyhow, nice clips!
