Thanks bro.

Congrats on the OH Squats. I am a huge fan of them. I started doing them a year ago and I have managed to make great gains on them.

Your training is correct: you did the more technical lift first and then followed it up with some Front Squats.

Good luck nailing those OH Squats!

I'll try but @ 27 I don't i'll becoming really good at them lol.

Yeah practicing them after being tired by fronts squats hinders and kinda defeats the only thing.

Dude, work on your hip mobility and it will come....

I dunno how your age will factor into this, but if you work on your hip mobility I guarantee you you'll feel a huge difference in like 6 months at the most.

I do work on mobility and flexibility, I come from a mixed martial arts background. Like i can go into a full olympic squat and overhead squat cold static no problem, for now the only trouble i get is in the upper, middle back, shoulder gridle balance and also core coordination which i find it gets better as i go throughout the sets, that's why i did 5 reps on the last sets.

But you are right about the mobility drills everybody should do them, they increases sports longevity, functionality and life quality overall.

Exactly. These are my sentiments as well.

I remember a few years ago when I was Deadlifting 135 lbs and I would do these "elaborate" mobility drills and people would smirk at me...I've become a better strength trainee thanks to them and I am glad I stuck to my guns
