Today was all about the Front Squat. Ever done it….. correctly? I’m still not doing it correctly. See, my mobility isn’t where it needs to be and I can’t get my hands far enough back to get the bar onto my chest/front shoulders, so the instructor let me “cheat” today and do the front arms crossed method. I’m not sure if my “testing” weight counts if I wasn’t doing it like everyone else, but I front squated more weight today in a one-rep max than I’ve ever done before (like in my life). And my back is telling me I probably did a deplorable job with my form, as it’s a big sore. But to put this in true perspective lest you think I’m bragging or I don’t know my place…my one-rep max was what most of the other folks in the class started with to work up to their own one-rep max. I’m good with that, I’ve still there. I’ll go back Monday for more!
