GOOD JOB !!!!!!!!!!!

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?

Two post swaps, spatts

Great work!

300 won't be far away. You'll amaze yourself with how quick you progress.

Thanks Spatts.

I saw some dude do a 903 pound squat last night on ESPN2. I just can't imagine.

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:

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

That or his arms are weaker than his legs.
