felt good today

[blackbeard]

well since i was home hit the gym early..my lower back is feeling so much better..after a couple of weeks of not really doing anything heavy felt good to push some weight..still nothing great..
front squats
295x5x2
315x5x1
365 fail i had this!!! it was so hot in the gym by the time i got to this i was soaked and couldnt help it but the bar just fell right out of te groove..i took it as a sign that maybe shouldn't go overbaord to fast..all sets ATF..

then did some light box squats 3x4 with a 12 inch box? (not quite sure but it was below para)
short term goal is 405 front squat

i agree with c-ditty but what in the hell is with the front squats

 

[blackbeard]

lol..i find it helps me with my forward lean..think thats how i tweaked the back in the first place trying to do reps and just got too far forward..

watch some of the squat videos of pb and then ask yourself do you put the bar to high on the neck compared to pb . a lot of times haveing the bar to high puts unnecessary stress on the lower back . the lower the weight on the back the less leverage the weight has on the lower back .another common problem i see is haveing your hands to close in which throws your elbows back and your head forward . if you decide that these arent the problem you can try a couple of other things 1 go wider with your feet or maybe try squatting in a shoe with some heel instead of flat like the taylors .

thnks dawg..im thinking the bar may be too high. i spread my hands out rather than have my elbows in tights..gonna make some adjustments next week

ita amazing how much diff lowering the bar 1-1.5 inches can make . if that doesnt work we will try widening the stance , gotta get you away from them damn front squats

Are you just joking or is there a reason you don't like front squats?
