[IronAbrams]

Ok, 255 1RM as of 03/27/09.

This is going along well.

[accents595]

205 1RM, was pretty easy. ill check it again in a couple of weeks.

Great job, is this Javier or Roger?

And I'll get all new PR's in two weeks so here is to hoping 255 gets broken!

[qb0708]

I'll might test mine tomorrow, I was looking for something to do for my ME squat workout and I guess this works haha

[madaozeki]

kirksman?

If it's not kirksman I'm calling bullcrap as usual :-) Or pulling out the huge sarcasm bullhorn...

[cjdelaney]

345x6. (after deadlifts)

Anything above a triple is a really poor indicator of where I am at, since I usually just get pissed and rack it early.

Good job on the PR's guys.

I did 185 5x3(3sets of 5) yesterday, pretty easily. Figure I'll do at least 205 5x3 by the end of the month, so when I max out I'll hopefully be around 235-245.

I find it hard to believe people who classify their 130 clean as "weak".

Especially when they weigh 165lbs

Anyone think knowles.ja was dogging it at the beginning?

Ha! His 1RM is 325, but was injured. This is a post-injury progression, and he's not allowed to win

[qb0708]

Hit 325 full rom today, Kinda disappointed, yet happy with this result, it was nice to finally move some heavy weight again since I'm home from school. The last time I had tested my front squat was about this time last year, I might test it again before the contest is up, I did try 345 came up out of the hole good but leaned forward and had to dump it

275 Front Squat Good:


285 Miss:

Figured I'd post a pretty-much-identical result to IronAbrams here.

I got my 275 a while ago but didn't catch it on tape, and have missed it since, so I wanted to get some solid proof. The camera angle isn't great, but you can see how close the bar gets to the pins at the bottom, and then on the 285 and last 2 sets, when I got a better angle, you can see how it looks depth-wise.

This is a typical workout when I aim for a front squat max. My front squats immediately follow cleans. At this workout I did some cleans for doubles (and some jerks) with 135, 165, 185, 205 and 225 for 2 singles, then went straight into the following front squat workout:

225x1
255x1
275x1 - ties PR and provides video evidence of it
285x0
225x3
225x3

[GLHF]

i powerlift but ive done a front squat with 315x3 parallel, wide stance.

Front squat 1RM at 325

It seem as though most people skipping the first post

yea and dont realize this thread started two months ago

[.Goku.]

I won't be doing a front squat max anytime soon, but heres my original PR with 185:



and heres my pr with 245





I actually figured out that my original PR was done a month before the contest started, so the timeframe is a little bit more consistent if I don't enter a pr when the contest ends.

[Vadim Beliaev]

can i still enter this?



i did this while in contest prep, should be good to go for 420-440 by the end of May.
