Jeez, after only 3 or 4 weeks, my pec's are the best they've ever been, and bench has gone from an easyish 90 to a moderate 105 kg

I am finishing week 6 on this regimine. In that time my chest size has increased from 40" to 45" and my biceps from 13" to 14.5".

So I guess you could say I am rediculously pleased with the results so far.

Madcow2, maybe a stupid question..but can I do front squats instead of squats?
My back doesn´t allow me to do normal squat.. It is the only exercise that I can´t do. I have tried to find a way to do normal squat for a long time(years), but nothing has worked.
Sorry my bad english.. I am from Finland.

Saying madcow died in a car accident is very different from having a pop at someone because of their beliefs on training or diet. You've always been helpful to me and I thank you for that. Some of your other posts can be amusing, although I too tire from them at times.

But the above post crosses the line, for me at least. I can't imagine anyone finding it even remotely amusing. madcow was highly respected and people miss him posting here. Sorry bro, but there's just no need for a comment like that.

Agreed, from someone who has never been amused by AI's comments.

Oh well. He's still alive, so to me, doesn't make a bit of a difference.

anyway, to answer the question, i don't see a problem in front squating as opposed to back squatting. though having said that, have you considered working on your form? back squat light weights for a few weeks and perfect your form. then slowly increase the weights. there are lots of good resources out there on good squat form. i think there is a sticky on the powerlifting forum which describes squat execution.
