Front Squats 2-2-2-2-2-2-2


John: 145-176-196-216-221(1)
Louis: 145-176-185-196-216

The 221 set a 1RM PR for me and the 216 x 2 was a 2RM PR. I got 221 twice but the depth was not there on the second squat in my opinion. Louis established a good working PR.

Big lesson today was high elbows. Achieving a proper rack position is everything in the front squat. Without it the weight pulls on your wrists, throws off your balance, and makes it impossible to drive from the proper position in the bottom of the squat (the hole).

Warm Up
4 rounds Tabata (2 min total) of:
- mountain climbers
- double unders
- jumping lunges
* between each Tabata set we worked on various dynamic stretches specifically targeted for the front squat

Strength
Push Press: 3-3-3-3
95-115-137-165
