Christ that's a lot of swings. Any doms from that madness?

I used to get really sore from them, but I've been doing them so often I barely get DOMS from them. Same thing with Bulgarian squats...which is strange because they used to always murder my legs the next day.
 
Yeah i always found bulgarians destroy me haha.

Thing is every time i've done high frequency squatting programs the soreness goes away after a week and i'm fine so it makes sense. Grease the groove!

Yeah frequency of the exercise definitely decreases soreness. If I were to stop Bulgarian squats or swings for a couple months, and started doing them again, I'd be in pain for sure the next day.

Nice fronties. Belt or no belt? I'm unsure whether it makes any difference on front squats. Its always my upper back that collapses first.

Thanks, I'm about a month into doing front squats after not doing them for quite a while. I've never used a belt for front squats, and I don't know exactly why. I'm the same way, my upper back rounds before my lower back on the front squats. I guess I imagine the belt wouldn't offer as much help due to the mechanics of the front squat as it would the back squat, but I really don't know for sure.

Done. Had some sort of heart palpitation or deep chest muscle spasm at the beginning of my workout...it freaked me the fuck out. I was stretching my hip flexor, and I felt the stretch run through my abs and chest, which is normal (pretty tight after taking a week off, been sitting so much with school). As I was pulling the stretch through my anterior torso, I felt what I have experienced before, and what I think is a heart palpitation or muscle spasm, but it happened for several minutes. I got so nervous that I made it worse...I was getting dizzy, pale and my hands started going numb due to intense adrenaline. I talked to some random stranger, who was nice enough to hang out with for for a while so to make sure I was alright. I don't know what the issue was, but the palpitations were strong and lasted for 5-10 minuets. I was seriously considering calling an ambulance or something.

Like an idiot, I finished my workout (I had just barely begun at the point of the chest issue). The only caffeine I take is a cup of coffee in the morning, and I don't use any stimulant supplements or AAS. I have been extremely stressed and anxious recently...who knows.

Good session overall, but with a rough start. Deadlifts were tough today, and I had a hard time getting in the groove. My left knee was bothering me, which it does time to time, but which has definitely been consistently better in recent weeks since I started working differently with some of my hip mobility stuff. What was strange is that my knee was really bothering me at the end of deadlifts, and deadlifts rarely ever aggravate my left knee issue. Stranger still, Bulgarian squats made my knee feel better.

Great session. I was a little hung over this morning, but I felt really good in the gym. Front squats were the best they have been since I started doing them again a couple months ago. I was getting really good depth while maintaining good hip/knee position and an upright torso. Weight displacement through foot was really good too.
