Finally hit 225 @145LB BW Front Squat (VID)

[Maj01]

Lilbit.

195lbs x 2 pr today.

Would rep, but I have to spread some rep around. Strong lifts, guys up there got you covered ^

[GeneralSerpant]

Her legs bounced inwards, but she didn't lift with them like that.

The strength is definately there, LadyLore is strong as **** lol. Everyone could benefit from some form improvement.

Knees in isn't always bad, especially when it's just a couple inches like in my case. A girl I lift with squats more than me but her knees make contact every rep when it gets heavier, been doing it for years and she's just fine.

Try looking at my other lifts. You'll see my knees go well beyond my toes, and when they come in, my knees are still aligned above my toes in more than acceptable form, they never actually go to the inside of my toes. I deliberately push my knees out past my toes, kind of froggy like, for this specific short coming in my squat, also over half my squatting is done with a band.

Her knees touch and you think that's acceptable form? Sorry, I disagree... it isn't, and your knee caving is excessive and can lead to patella femoral syndrome, ITB syndrome an ACL tears. It's always OK until it's not.

It's just advice...

Grats on the lift. For the most part, the lift looked good for a PR. Personally, I like a much more narrow stance, but provided you have the flexibility and can avoid knee caving, do what works.

Strong lift.

As mentioned, watch with the knee caving. Your upper back is giving out and as you start leaning forward, your knees cave to prevent yourself from falling over. I would also revisit your hand position. It looks like your gripping the bar and your elbows are a bit low. IMO, very slight knee caving is only acceptable on a heavy single. If your knees are caving, don't go back into the hole.

Any tips to keeping the upper back up? I'm doing 205, 5x5 on the fronts right now, but i do notice my elbows drop down a little as i'm pushing up.

A useful cue for me, to keep arms and upper back up, is to visually fix on a high spot on the wall in front, near ceiling if necessary.

A stronger upper back Think chest up.

You're stronger than I on fronts, so there isn't much I can suggest (250 1rm). A form check vid is always useful if you want a critique.

It could be mobility or weakness, or it could just be normal form breakdown associated with sh*t getting heavy.

I personally like front squat walk outs after working sets. You should be able to do it with 110% of your 1 rm, good for core development and fairly easy to add into a program.

strong beats by dre

Be careful with chest up cue. This cue applies to fronts as well and is well worth the watch.
