>trying to start lifting weights to as not to be a lanklet

either widen or shorten your hand placement

it shouldnt even matter that much, you just have to balance it behind your neck and not be a fag

everyone starts somewhere. squats are actually a relatively hard exercise to perform correctly, especially if you've never lifted weights before.

I know that feel, bro. I just started as well and am struggling with 5x5 just the bar. Check your form, strengthen your arms first if you need to. We're all gonna make it, bro.

Have you tried doing them on the smith machine? Also, make sure to stretch your arms before hand. The first time I tried I almost pulled a muscle in my arm.

wtf

Front squat friend. If flexibility is a problem, then put it on top of your front side, and cross your arms to hold it up, instead of twisting your arms.
For the strenght parth, when holding your arms crossed over the bar on front side, your shoulders will position in a more horizontal way, and you will use less force to hold it in place. almost noone.

Most gyms have a piece of rubber you put across your upper back to help assist you if needed. No excuses.

Guys, how can I do squats if I have very stiff ancles? I can't keep my heels on the ground if I try the proper form.
