K.i.s.s.

nice benchy, how is the cut going? I am getting intense night time cravings.

Funny, the shit were you saying. That happens to me in a similar way. I'll see a girl who is really hot, then when I hang out and get to know her, I feel her hotness level drops a couple points.

Some could consider that a defense mechanism... 'Leave them before they leave you'

 

[MeatZatk]

great lookin squats!

 

[goob]

Yeah, nice squats. Fuck cardio after any day including squats. That's why I don't do squats anymore (for now). When I was doing Bulgarian's etc.. I could'nt run for 2-3 days after cuz of the DOMS.....

 

[AKIRA]

Bulgarians....Hmm, will I go back to them..?

 

[AKIRA]

Did anyone catch me saying "fucking grand central station" at the end of the vid? That is the ONLY squat rack in the whole place. Naturally, I have to share it a lot.

 

[tallcall]

Yeah, I caught it. That place does look like a train station.

 

[MCx2]

Yeah, I caught it. That place does look like a train station.

It sounds like one too. Nice looking squats.

 

[AKIRA]

Thanks. I got annoyed cuz of the fact that it was completely clear, but just when I decide to tape a squat or two, people walk by.

That guy that walked by used to do free weights, but now all he does are the smith machines. There are 2 on each side of the squat rack.

That sucks! They didn't even have the common courtesy to wait until you were done to walk by?

 

[AKIRA]

Oh they didnt know, so it wasnt a big deal. Only one lift was blocked.

 

[katt]

Nice looking squats! I can get down that far with front squats, but back squats I can't seem to make it work

 

[AKIRA]

Front Squats? Ive tried them maybe a total of 5 times in my life. Im gonna have to watch some more vids on them to get the form done right.

From what I remember, there are 2 ways to do them.

 

[katt]

Yeah, my husband does them the conventional way, hands crossed in front of him with the bar resting on his delts... I can't do it that way, it hurts the hell out of my shoulders...

I have to have my palms facing up resting on my shoulders and hold the bar there...

 

[AKIRA]

But the bar lays on the same part of the....sternum, yes?

 

[katt]

But the bar lays on the same part of the....sternum, yes?

Well,,,, my hands are sitting on the front delts extending backwards, palms up, and my thumbs are at the top of the pec muscle... I guess that's how I can explain it

Someone posted a pic of a gal doing front squats here,,, I don't remember who... but it was exactly the way I do them.

Let me try to find it

 

[MCx2]

Have you ever done a clean? I do front squats with the bar in the "catch" position. Takes some wrist flexibility but it's what I'm most comfortable with.

 

[Burner02]

when I did front squats...I did them w/ the arms crossed and the bar was up against my throat...didn't really like that feeling, so I never went heavy wtih them...I did a couple sets of fronts to finish off my quads..

 

[AKIRA]

Abs
Reverse Crunches w/obliques
Dragon Flags
Planks w/repped Hip abductions (2 sec isos)

HIIT on Eliptical
5 min warm up
6 sets of lvl 10 for 20 sec, 200+ strides
6 sets of lvl 10 for 60 sec, 115+ strides
5 min cool down

Static Stretched

Well, I thought Id be doing cardio later on today with the girl, but the girl has to go home to the husband later.

I think you and Repro and describing the same thing. Where are you elbows pointing? Upward/forward?

Burner, thats how I did them. Stabilized fine, but got heavy on the bones.

 

[katt]

Exactly the same way as the clean.. And yes, it does get heavy,, kinda squashes my fingers if I don't have it positioned correctly.

Elbows are forward.

Here is a good pic of a proper front squat.

 

[AKIRA]

Does anyone's arms get tired using that form?

 

[fufu]

I think this is the pic Katt metioned.

 

[fufu]

Does anyone's arms get tired using that form?

No, if you do it properly, your arms and fingers are just hardly taking the load, they just act as a stop for the bar. The majority of the load is placed on the shelf on the upper trunk consisting of your front delts and sternum. The front squat is a finicky movement and usually takes a few sessions to get the hang of. If you don't have the wrist mobility you can use straps to hold the bar, let me see if I can find a pic.

I think this is the pic Katt metioned.

ho-lee-crap...she's ATG front squatting what..250lbs??? I think I'm aroused....

Here it is -

Those look like olympic rubber plates, so they could actually be alot less. I wouldn't be suprised if she could front squat 250 though.

 

[AKIRA]

Id fuck her if she bought tits.

 

[MCx2]

I think this is the pic Katt metioned.

This is how I do it.
