Front Squats

Workout 25 March 2009:

Front Squat, 5 sets of 3 reps

Results: 145-155-165-175-185lbs
Previous best: 145-160-170-180-190lbs (12 Nov 08)

It's been a couple weeks since I last did heavy squats due to my back. I decided to do "light" front squats today. Compared to back squats, more of the work is done by the legs with front squats. The 185lbs felt very heavy since I allowed for minimal lower back recruitment. Can't wait to be fully healed.

I also had my first of 10 sessions of myofascial release today, focusing on my lower back and hips. Amazing. Second session on Saturday. More on this in future posts.

Mark Rippetoe Quote of the Day:
"If you can't train and work in a warehouse at the same time, you probably have ovarian cancer. Consult your gynecologist."
