That was part of the problem, and I have to admit I took the easy, but safer, way out. I couldn't keep alignment, breathe properly, AND keep the front grip. It seemed it was always T-Extension that suffered of all those, so it just wasn't worth the risk to me.

Even when I do the hack squat machine, I come home with bruising on the contact points of my shoulders when I get enough weight (2-3 plates) to make me feel I do something in my quads.
