Prince of Pull

Thanks man, compared to my pressing movements in my general, the OH press is signifcantly weaker than it shoulder be. I rarely do any overhead shoulder work. I only just started doing military press last week.

Switched from Front squats back to conventional squats today:

Squat
135x3
185x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
365x3
405x5
405x1(gassed)
315x7
275x6

Put on the song "Bring me to Life" by evanescense and got under 405.

This was one of the best sets of my life, it was a 20-30 second set of pure heaven. Each rep had excellent form and tempo, the last one was truly a grinder but I did not let my form be compromised.

Once again Front Squats have helped me bust through yet another plateau.

good job bro!! bet it felt damn good to load 4 plates on

 

[miked8c]

Yeah I have done 405 on many occasions.

But today was different because I was able to rep it out with good form and for five. thanks man.

dude thats a sick set 405x5 squat very nice. A 500 squat at around your bodyweight would be sick........

IF you go heavy on front squats they will really help your core support the weight on back squats. Which will carry over to you being able to take heavier weight deeper into the hole without losing your tightness.

The difference after doing front squats and switching to back is obvious.

Shit I'm going to have to put some serious work in on overhead press. Until then though.......I'm loving being stronger than you at it!

Whats your bodyweight at now by the way?

Lol at tblock asking about bodyweights, secretly hinting at the fact he's lighter and was/is stronger
