Paused Front Squat (No Belt)

  • 140 x 8
  • 230 x 3
  • 320 x 2
  • 410 x 1 * PR!
    • +5 lb 1RM
    • Pretty easy. Exploded up, got that bar leaping off body feeling. Feels good.

Front Squat (No Belt)

  • 420 x 0
    • Bar hit the safety pins. Threw me off mentally, physically and spiritually. Ah well next time.

Front Squat (Dead Stop)

Also known as bottom-up front squat or Anderson front squat.

  • 410 x 0,0
    • Used the cross grip. Budged up a bit.
  • 385 x 0,1 * PR!
    • 1RM I guess. Tried cross grip at first, but I'm not comfortable with it. Used the straps the 2nd try, and got it. Not bad!

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
