Squats

Oh crap, post swap....sorry about that.

Yeah, front squats tend to hit my quads and abs, and back squats hit...well, everything. :)
 
Did squats today. Was going to try to do front squats but after the second rep the bar was sliding off my left shoulder. I was using the crossed-arms hold. I don't think I can do front squats since the bar nearly chokes me. Or else I need to work on it. So I switched to regular, full squats.

230x1 PR on full squats though. :) Slowly on my way to 300.

Do front squats really differ that much compared to regular? Is there a lot more quad development?
 
My posts always seem to get the swap. No idea why.

Thanks, Zander. :)

I started to lean forward on the 230. I really need to control that. No idea what I'd do if I kept going forward and couldn't stop. I have two sawhorses to catch it but not sure they would in that situation.

This is why we refer to goodmornings as "chaos recovery." If you can GM what you can squat, then you can control it from falling forward, or recover it if it starts to fall forward.
 
good job

It means your quads are weaker than your glutes :)

When your near your limit the body will try and use the stronger msucles to finish the move
 
Sorry *HE* is having trouble holding on to the bar. I'm sure front squats would be a lot easier if the bar didn't have to be held.

That's more than 100 pounds lower than the record too.

As an example, Chuck Vogelpohl (*spatts druels*) squatted 1000 at 220 pounds of body weight:

I saw Steve Goggins bury 1036 (if I recall correctly) and smoke it out of the bottom at the WPO's last year. That was the most impressive squat I have ever seen.

I also have to put a word in for one of our friends. He won the USAPL's men's masters this past year. Months before at age 39, he squatted 903 at the WPO's.

And Serea, hang in there. You're well on your way to moving some heavy weight!
 
that goggins 1036 was amazing - I was there too Rebecca! :)

This is Jim, but she'll be on in a bit. I'll tell her to get to this post. Would have been cool to have seen you there. Are you headed to Atlanta this year?
