Louden, they felt very very comfortable... I would get my elbows to touch the ground, pause for a second, and explode up. Removes a lot of strain from the rotator cuffs. The negative side to it is that you may need two spotters once you get to a heavier weight.

Where were your elbows (tucked in or a slight flare)?

I have practiced the technique, and its pretty much a full bench press for me.

Louden, it was close grip, with elbows tucked in. However my training partner does it with wide grip, letting his elbows flare out just a bit. I think its a personal preference. I don't think this is a chest exercise... it is more of a tricep exercise.

I guess I will have to experiment with this. . .start light and get the feel.

I am not used to tucking my elbows in unless its a close grip bench press.

Nice Rev, your weights are climbing and your form is improving on the back squat. Are you stretching your hips? From the looks of it, you need to rack your front squats further back, and really lift your elbows. It will be uncomfortable, but it will keep your back straighter, and allow you to handle heavier weights. Nice work overall though. Karma to U.

Oh, why do abs first?

 

[Zander1983]

What have you done to improve your flexibility on the back squats? The 225s looked like a massive improvement, though the 275s were parallel.

Like I've said before, consider adding small jumps to the 225 while trying to maintain the same form and ROM. I think that could be your best solution.

But overall, great work!

Edge - cable abs actually pop my hips, and it became very easy to sitback. Thanks for everything bro. And front squats I may use the crossover grip, its quite unpleasent to have 200 lbs on your wrists.

Zander - yep you noticed that too. Will definetely drop weight, and thanks for everything
