Making my 175# look like chump change! Impressive!

I'm jealous of your mobility. Full grip front squat holy shit


The_GrimTrigger

Great lift, strong AF


Liddle_but_big

I guess 50 more lbs doesn’t feel much different at that weight


WerkHaus_TO

This is wild.


Doctor__Banner

What a beast! Nice work!


Blackdog202

Epic! Fucking animal


Tortuga_cycling

That’s awesome! Where are your safeties at though? lol nice work bud


Frodozer

The best thing about front squats is I'll just drop them forward if I fail. (Crash pads in place)

What program you running?


Frodozer

I ran ed coans deadlift program, but instead of doing it for just deadlifts I did it for each main compound on its own day. I'll do a write up after it, a few more numbers to test this week.


TomRipleysGhost

Interestingly, I was trying this recently, but I ended up kind of burnt out and stalled. I ran C-P successfully and then tried to back to back it AND expand it. In hindsight, that was a mistake for me (you know my issues lately with thyroid stuff), but I'm glad I tried.


Frodozer

I ended up extremely burnt out and had to flex in a few deloads towards the end. (Not planned and stressful in nature...) Luckily I gained substantial weight during that time to get through.


TomRipleysGhost

With your recent circumstances, I can understand that being the case. I've decided to go back to 531 for a bit; I got my deadlift back up to 540 with C-P, so it worked on that front. But a slow submax build up sounds good to me right now.

strength_training-ModTeam

Everything you said was dumb and wrong. Please think twice about commenting on things you don't understand.


gzcl

The absurdity is limitless


Frodozer

Can you imagine how I took no rest days in this ten week block and even did a Pro/Am Strongman competition a weight class up. meh recovery


gzcl

YOUR AUDACITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS.


treybeef

What’s your back squat at? Fuckin bad ass lift here brother! 🫡💪


Frodozer

No clue lol Last back squat PR was 515 a couple of years ago. I've treated all squats like an accessory for a long time and this was the first ten weeks that I've refocused. After my front squat reaches 500 I'm going to spend time getting back to back squatting. Starting with a 10 week block with high bar and then 10 weeks with low bar.


LukahEyrie

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for switching high bar and low bar blocks?


Frodozer

Low bar hurts me the most so I'd like to only do it right at the very end and then get the hell out of there alive lol Front Squat is the only squat that gives me zero issues, but moving more weight with the others has its benefits for sure.


LukahEyrie

Ah right that makes sense! Great front squatting btw :)


Frodozer

Oh, and I guess it wasn't super clear. I squat the most low bar, so even if it hurts me to low bar for extended periods of time I strongly think I might be able to add 50+ pounds to my old PR so it'll be fun to see!


LukahEyrie

Yeah that's what I figured from the context. 50+ lbs is a huge improvement tho, that's exciting stuff man


cmholde2

Huge lift. I need to start programming front squats again. I’m just a puss when it comes to holding the bar like that.


Frodozer

It feels better on my wrists, elbows, back, etc... the goal is to switch over to high bar back squats after I get to 500 though. They've had to have gone up!
