I did a little experimenting at home last night, and I could feel how it might be a matter of hip mobility as well as shoulder flexibility. As you said earlier, "You need to get in the practice of squatting down, and between your legs." I'm not doing this.

Where's Lisa~ with a link showing how to do dislocates? (Although that name scares me a little along with Gq's reference above.)
well, it depends on how long your arms are. If you're short, and have short arms, you won't need to go out to the collars. I'm 6'3" and have around 6' wingspan, so i need to go out to the collars. This feels better for me, because i can press against the sides of the collars for more balance.

if you don't want to do dislocates, just do a lot of other shoulder mobility work. Arm Circles, and lots and lots of practice holding the bar in the right position while squatting.
