    Your front squatting seems to be up with your back squat...

    Well I have decided to concentrate on the front squat and then the back squat is only an afterthought, also I had a cut on my knee which was preventing me from reverse lunging so I will bring them online soon enough.

    Also my right shoulder has become wonky so I will be dropping Benching for dips, everything is mixed up :(

    Why you concentrating on front squats vs back squats, out of interest?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,977 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    Back squats were annoying me form wise, so tried front squats and they felt better. Then after the front squats I tried a few back squats and they felt great. But the main difference is that I am doing a lot more rolling/mobility stuff for the lower body.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,835 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Just wondered...I have a love/hate relationship with front squats lately.

    I hate how they f*ck me up but I love how hard they are.

    Still...solid front squatting, sir.

    I'm intrigued...

    I'm intrigued...

    It's just the Chinese rows, but I have the bench up on two chairs, two chairs that are in the shed because they are old and broken, and I had to put a staple in one to hold the bar.

    I would love to have a custom bar that would enable me to get a greater ROM, but the movement of the row/bar is beautifulllllllll

    Would I know them as chest-supported BB rows?

    You keep videoing doing them and I'll keep watching You've Been Framed :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,977 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    Yup Chest supported BB Rows

    Do you know in what way?

    Nice front squattin'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,977 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    I have a pretty narrow stance and try and push my knees out as far as possible as to over come some ROM limitation on my right ankle, but I tried a wider stance during my 5x5 and it felt better yet wasn't as strong. I also have a hard time judging depth so I always go ATG and I find this shifts me forward as I try to get out of the hole.

    And the grip was use weird, bar seemed to be on my collarbones, think it was more an issue with the bar/rack as the bar would rotate more freely and I couldn't really get it into a tight position.

    Narrower stance def feels better for me but I definitely have to work harder to keep upright coming out of the hole. Still feels stronger than wider stance.

    I always have marks on my collarbones after. Kind sits in on my delts but feels secure
