Squats – frontside, that is.
Oh yes. Front Squats.
I always hope that my thrusters will get forever faster as I get stronger at the front squat, but It’s been awhile since we focused on them solely. It felt good.
WOD
3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3
- front squats
Results
After a good long warm up of:
- Oly lift warmup
- 1:10 handstand hold (against a wall)
- 15 pull-ups
- 15 push-ups
- 15 squats
- 3 x 5 progressive weight squats
we jumped into heavy (for us) front squats. Jay’s form is really good and mine continues to improve. I can get a bit deeper than Jay, but I think I suffer more “forward lean” than he does. Gotta keep working on the straight back – never let up.
- Jay: 135, 155, 145, 145, 145
- Christian: 155, 175, 165, 165, 165
Finished up with some easy back extensions for good measure.
I’m gonna blame the new little puppy in my house for making me a little tired today – that and I also run 30 minutes barefoot each morning {wink}
