He was doing cross arms front squat. I do clean grip now. But I agree with Dan's comment in his channel, hard to do a clean grip on that since it's way heavy and don't want to wreck his wrists

He was doing 635 lbs. in that front squat!!

I'm thinking about switching to zercher since holding the bar higher hurts.

Yes like this...wrap some pads around bar and hold it there with arms.

Been doing Zercher for a while. You get use to the pain and after a while it doesn't hurt.

It can be cheap. Just copyandpasta the WOD's and perform in your gym. Just find a spot.

Man, I do it at my gym since there is a xfit type room but it's not even remotely the same.


I was a big skeptic of xfit but I try to give the benefit of the doubt and since I can say I did it I have a wider pic of it. I still hate the high cost though.

WOD is free on any xfit gym throughout the world.

They have created standard wod with their own names. ex. Fran, Murph, Linda, Wittman, Kalsu and so forth.

this is done so everyone can compare their performances.


Again, not the same at home. Not even close.

Asian brahs - should I cut or clean bulk? Currently at 151 and around 13 - 14% BF. With summer coming up I'd really like abs but I also want to look like I lift with a shirt on

Cut for the summer then bulk up during fall/winter. rinse and repeat.

[SwiftRick]

Cut for the summer then bulk up during fall/winter. rinse and repeat.

So should I start cutting now for about 3 months and then start a clean bulk once summer hits? Thanks for your time and help.

And it's just 200 - 300 under maitenance calories and 1.5g of protein per body weight for a cut right?

I will do...

1.2-1.5g of protein
.03-.04 of fats
fill rest with carbs

find your maintenance level cals and lower slowly. 300 cals. to begin is good. Shoot for 1.5-2 lbs. fat loss per week. Don't crash diet bad for your metabolism down the road.
Yeah start now cutting, is a marathon not a sprint. Also lift as heavy as you can, find a program that works and effective in maintaining strength. You can do a "bro" split or do like Layne Norton's P.H.A.T. Take pics once a week to gauge your progress (srs, it helps so much), take pics from same spot too.
