I never do over-max walkouts or lockouts. If I did, my walkouts probably wouldn't look like I was going to die.
My weekly training split is this:
Day 1: Front squats 4 sets of 5, Bench full ROM, higher reps
Day 2: Front squats 4 sets of 5 (heavier), Bench - usually boards, lower reps
Day 3: Back squats work to one heavy set, then Front Squats 4 sets of 5
So I only do 3 exercises: front squat, back squat, and bench (with variations).
Thanks, I was really happy with the depth.637/390tng/615 - belt/wraps, best gym lifts.

Beastly squat.
I think remember you talking about doing front squats more a while back in your journal. Seems like you really put it to the test and it's working well for ya.
What are your front squat PR's? I'm curious. Also, how often are you pulling...?Excellence is the result of Caring more than others think is Wise; Risking more than others think is Safe. Dreaming more than others think is Practical and Expecting more than others think is Possible.

No, I hate you. You beat me to a 600 DL, I think. Aren't you something like Daaave on YouTube? I've been watching your progress; you are almost my exact weight, and our lifts are nearly the same. When I saw you squatted 585 a week or two ago, I knew it was time to squat a PR.
I'm not pulling--the last time I didn't pull and just did front squats and back squats, I hit a 20 lb PR on deadlift.
I'm really bad at front squats, which is probably why it is good for me to do them so much. I squatted this PR on a Monday, and the Saturday before I front squatted 315x5 which was a PR for me. I haven't maxed on f-squats in quite a while.
Thanks! I'm not sure that I'll ever make it to 700 unless I start competing equipped or I bulk up huge (which I doubt will ever happen), so it feels good to at least get to 600.637/390tng/615 - belt/wraps, best gym lifts.

In my experience, you generally want to focus on the lift you are worst at.
My squat was always way behind my deadlift, and I've focused on it for almost 2 years straight now, having rarely trained my deadlift during that time. My deadlift is still pretty close to my squat; I'm hoping to hit 600 on DL tomorrow.
All that to say, you might want to do the reverse: focus on deadlift, and not so much on squat. Attacking your weakest lift helps to fill out the weak spots in your total.637/390tng/615 - belt/wraps, best gym lifts.

No problem; I haven't been posting the videos here because I always get involved in some long convo on a thread and I don't have time for that, but I have been shooting e-mails to PLWatch when I see good videos, so that's where a lot of their across-the-ocean stuff comes from. So, you can keep an eye out there for what I usually post here.

Thanks!
It took me long enough... I remember talking about squatting 600 when we met at the NAS Nationals, haha.
A few meets ago, one of my back spotters told me that in his time as a spotter, I was the most terrifying person to spot.637/390tng/615 - belt/wraps, best gym lifts.
