I'm only guessing because I don't know, but on the front squats that might be an abdominal weakness. I know front squats/zercher squats are harder on my core than just about anything, especially done from a box. Hopefully someone else can shed some light.

Great SLDL btw. Wow.

Hey,
I thought your front SQ looked good. It's hard to sit back in that exercise due to the bar position. Your bench looked great too. I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet. I'm hoping to watch it tomorrow. Chris was sick today, so it was a busy day of playing daddy.

I'm working my core now, more than ever. If it was a weakness, I'm working on bringing it up. Thanks.

Glad that's what it's supposed to look like. Thanks for all your help. I know you are a busy man.
