Damn good job on the PRs!!!! Congrats.

I never understood my squats. I do lean forward alot but my lower back is pretty strong. I deadlift more then I squat. I mean its nothing crazy I think its like 225x6 and my rack deads I hit 315x1.

I do tend to press off with my toes b/c I lean forward so much. I'm not sure why I do this. I think front squats may bother my shoulder though...what do you think holding the weight like that? I mean all the weight being pressing between my delts and traps just sounds like it will hurt my bad shoulder.

Do them olympic stlye. Racking (this refers to the way olympic lifters hold a finished clean) the weight will take a lot of weight off your shoulders. Do under 5 reps with this stlye though, or your posteriar delts will get to tired. I would have to see your form to tell what you what's wrong with your front squats. Do you have a video camera? You could just have someone take multiple pictures I with a digital camera.

try and stick your ass out first before you even bend your knees. this will set the path of the bar over the arch of your foot. as you decend make sure that you are pushing your feet out, like you want to press with the outer part of your shoe.

I do start with my ass out first then start to bend at the knees and come down but I still lean way to far forward. Starts to mix between like a GM and a squat lol. Even at a very light weight I lean forward or lose my balance.
 
ATF squats 185x10 205x9 215x7 215x5 (failed coming up on 6)
Front squats 165x9 165x8 165x8
Overhead squats 65x10 85x9 85x9 (I was so tired from regular squats)
Didn't do calves, I'll do them thursday. I was to tired.

Deadbolt: I'll find you some pictures, I have to do a spanish project though, so it might be tomorrow unless I finish early.

He said he doesn't have access to pictures or videos.

Deabolt http://www.stumptuous.com/badsquat.html it shows you how to front squat if you scroll down past back squat. She has the bar in rack position. It also explains what to do.

No vid or pics Im poor LOL but I wish I did.

Stance use to be narow but I've tried widening it up to roughly shoulder width.

Bar is pretty high on the back b/c of my shouder....I can't really bring my arm back far enough and if I do it hurts like a bitch with all that pressure on it. People let the bar ride like by their rear delts but I have trouble pinning it between my traps and delts....I need to keep it a tad higher then that or else I'm in alot of pain!

Thanks for the info bud...I'll read it tomorrow b/c I have to get up early for class but the pics help.

I tried the same motion she is doing for back squats and I have a hard time doing it without weight!!! I lose my balance and just always want to lean forward. Its actually a struggle for me to do the motion with no weight at all.
 
DB bench 65x6 (so close to 7) 60x12 (I hate how big a difference 5 pounds makes) 60x10
DB incline 55x9 55x8 55x8
Flat flies 20x10 25x11
Bent over rows 145x9 145x8 145x9 145x7

Close grip pull ups BWx6 BWx9 (cheated on all)

I was to tired for pull ups today. When I say cheated I push up with my feet.
 
I am not deadlifting this week. For four reasons. I didn't get enough sleep, I am getting a cold, I want to see if my squats go up when I don't dealift (making sure I get enough rest between days, and my lower back feels like I very slightly pulled a muscle. I think it was from picking up the 65 pound dumbbells for my chest work out with a round back.

Good idea to rest the back up...you screw that up you really screw alot of workouts up!

Good lookin chest w/o though bro!!
 
CG bench 145x8 135x9 145x6
Dips BW+35x10 BW+45x7 BW+40x8 (PR)

Front squats (deep as possible, these were also very explosive) 165x9 165x9 165x10
Overhead squats 65x10 95x0 85x0 (you know you had a good leg workout when your shoulders give out lol)
seated calve raises 90x15 180x9 180x8 90x20

Such a good work out. Only thing is I think this means I don't get enough rest in between squats and deadlifts. I will deadlift this week and if my squats go back down I have to fix something.

Also, I looked at the NC powerlifting records and I think I have a good shot at the state record for NC and SC. I have 21 months to train for it. I want to be in the 165 weight class. So, I am bulking until 170 and then doing powerlifting. The current record for the 165 weight class is:
Squat: 405
bench 292
deadlift 455
total 1105

I have to gain around 90 pounds on the squats, maybe less. I don't care about bench I know I can't do that anyway. Deadlifts could be possible, I need 120 pounds for those.
 
Solid w/o Brother Michael!!! Don't have that defeatist attitude about the bench, I bet you could do it if you really tried my Friend!!!

I guess there is no harm in trying. Even if I don't get the record it will still help me to get the highest total.
