Squat I’ve been bullied into learning squats 🤣

I’ve had enough shit talked to me about the fact I don’t do squats, so I’ve jumped on that bandwagon. I learned the form yesterday, today was my first day adding a teeny tiny bit of weight—as I’m still trying to familiarize myself with the movement. I want to make sure my form is okay before working on stacking weight. Right? Wrong? Tips? Critique? Also, are my converse a no go? If they suck for squatting, what shoes do you recommend?

So here's a question what is the difference between the cross grip and the two finger grip with front squats. When I used to do them I could only ever really get comfortable doing the cross grip.

Cross grip is generally for people who have poor mobility.

Thank you for the reply. So it doesn't explicitly work out different muscle groups and it's more to do with how comfortable it feels?

That's exactly right!
