getting fast under that bar.

I don't think the word "power" means what you think it means...

i caught it at parallel. that qualifies as a power as i am catching it high.

Didn't look like your hips went below parallel at any point anyway though.

Anyone ever do 10 reps for Front Squat? I like doing them, but have to say, they are incredibly tiring, more so than a set of 10 for Back squats. I know people say "We don't do high reps in Front Squat because it taxes the back more than legs" which is true, it does, but I don't know why that's a reason to then not do it. Get a strong back.

Did 225 x 10 once and immediately died.

I think I might actually need this... I have been working on posture in front squats, but when the cleans start to get heavier, my back rounds noticeably and it annoys the **** out of me when playing back a video of my lifts.

Try it, just did 260lbx10 myself. Interested to see how you fare with them!

Higher rep stuff is the worst..
I'm doing 8's this week and next week for backs (currently injured, can only really squat) but with fronts would be even worse!

great for getting better posture during the lift. If you have a problem with rounding then drop low and fatigue that back so it can get stronger. i am going to go that route after my meet.

Well my PR front squat is only 290 lbs lol... so I'm thinking maybe experimenting with 10s between 185-205 lbs, but glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this would be a good help for that problem. During my PM session today, I really focused on staying back in my heels on the clean and keeping my back tight and I am seeing some improvement already, so I'm thinking high-rep FS should really kick that into high gear.

Anyway, I posted this on Pendlay forum earlier today and got ZERO legitimate feedback thus far... please forgive the first two Snatches - my gf had a horrible angle for lighting. I left in two misses at one of the higher weights I Snatched that day, so that you guys could see how I've been missing most of my reps (trust me, all of my misses are virtually identical - working on that bar path)

I did 12 reps with 92.5kg for a front squat contest in the over-35 section. It was really tough, and sucked hard. I'll be trying to beat that this week, though!! A couple people there did some incredible work, a gal with 137.5lbs for 20 reps FS, saw a 15 rep at 225lbs, too!! Very solid work for us old(er) guys!!

[dbk1]

I do 5s ramped up madcow style lol. so today was 65, 80, 95, 95

I use front squats instead of back squats for the light day, it's helping with posture. Always think hips forward and upper back back

[strengthsthetic]

just wondering, how many reps of your max clean can any of you front squat? curious to see

[dbk1]

as long as its not over thanksgiving break, 100% absolutely yes

2. failed 3 once

[SRSsrsSRS]

Yeah front squats make the heart beat!

A couple of heavy cleans and front squats and the lungs go crazy.

I've never tried, but also since my jerk was always my limiting factor, I feel I haven't pushed my true max clean yet.

That being said, I've done 127kg Clean, and my most recent Front Squats are 118kgx10 <-> 138kgx2 So I'd say like, 5-6 reps at my current max clean I could FS.

[Danmacca]

[ftwrestler]

yeah kinda

inb4 we switch weights

20lbs is nothing

How long do you have?

i have 2 weeks as of tomorrow

woke up 164 this morning. I can drop 20lbs of water weight in 3 days. my goal is to loose 3lbs of fat this week and then 2-3 next week and i will cut the remaining weight as water. it should not be all that bad ive had to do more. my first thai fight i went from 165 to 141

i have to get to 69kg or 151.8lbs

[squatsandzumba]

i have to get to 69kg or 151.8lbs

I'm telling you bro, cut to 62kg. You'd be very competitive there. I'm probably going to cut to 77 for the meet.

















I am kidding

you could not make 77 without a table saw lol.

If I get rid of the four fingers I don't need in order to hook grip, cut my hair, donate a kidney, take a laxitive, water load, blow my nose, cut my finger nails, clean my ears, and empty the air out of my lungs when I step on the scale I probably won't even need to change my diet.
