JBs Quest for Strength

[AllTheWay]

Thanks II! BI has been pushing front squats and I decided to give them a shot. However instead of crossed arms going OLY style. Wrists were getting a beat down today

kudos for you for trying front squats. i think they are a great exercise but they kill my wrists! it is leg day for me today as well, i think. i am going to try and switch up my training to increase strength in my muscles that are lagging and preventing me from getting my 350# dl pull.

NICE. Good to see you're giving them a shot. You will probably want to work on the flexibility by stretching them in a smith machine. They will help your pulls as long as you pull conventional. They'll also work the shit out of your core, lower back, and quads.

Just work on wrist flexibility. You'll find your DL will improve significantly if you put Oly Front Squats into your leg routine.

Thanks BI!! Yeah I felt that in the lower back. How far apart are you standing. I had about 10 inchs apart. Next week I am gonna do 5 back 5 hack and 5 front squats. just 225 on the fronts need to make sure my form is tight.

Awesome squats bro!!!! Can't imagine your arms twisting off on the fronts !!!

I'm a narrow stance squatter. I squat shoulder stance or a lil narrower.

In an effort to prep myself and get past a few sticking points I am having I decided to change over to sheiko. 3 days a week. My legs felt super strong today ever squat was deep and form was great. I want to go much higher but I need to follow the program to maximize it.
