actually you would have to multiply that by 2 i believe since he is talking about DB presses

so 85Kg>his bodyweight

which probably puts him about 170-180 pounds

1 kg -> 2.2 lb
approximately

[jimmybimmy]

For smolov would you round up or down? For 268 do 265 or 270?

OHP 5 x 5
some light squat volume and Upper hypertrophy work, willfeelgoodman

[pschaeff]

Sup brahs. I'm looking to hit some hypertrophy coming off my last 5x5 cycle. I'm interested in adding some front squats to a HST routine.

Does anyone here have any good front squat tutorial videos?

I've got this one so far, but I'm looking for more.

that's not a bad video, i didn't watch the whole thing though.

only thing is i take my grip at the same width as my clean grip, on the inside edge of the knurling.

I don't like that particular grip. I use the cross-over grip on front squats...the grip he's demonstrating always ****s up my shoulders since it is place the entire weight on the joint. I'd rather rest the bar directly on my shoulders than try and hold up a squat worthy weight like I am about to OHP it.

Day 4 of Smolov, I think I set my max too low. I combined 10 sets into 5 while getting the same reps. Thoughts?

Edit: how do ya'll make sure your feet are the same distance apart? I had a middle of set form crisis. Seems like my dominant leg does more work on a few reps, or i push more off that side. How to fix this?

Alright, thanks. It's just minor things I know, but its weird to notice them.

imo, the front squat isn't very good for hypertrophy, you'd be better off just doing back squats.

[sekaonayr]

hit 320 board press tonight. feelin good. will hit that 315 as a 16 year old some time in the next month! my birthdays not till next march either!

[Dom_88]

yep, I weigh around 180 now.

42.5x2=85x2.2=184lbs

stats are wrong. I haven't weighed that since I was playing rugby

[AcquireStrength]

Injured my back on Friday.

Was on the 5th rep of 405 and as I was coming out of the hole my lower back spasmed and that was that. Form was fine, I think I've just been pushing my lower back too hard and not giving it enough time to recover, plus I think heavy defecit stiff legged deads had a role to play so I'm removing the defecit when I am able to get back in the gym (it's not too bad, may a take a week or so to clear up).

that sucks, but that's life when you're lifting heavy ass ****. I'm sure you'll be in good enough condition to recover quickly.
