not sure if i understand.....whats the difference?
so are you going to train your front squat in isolation....i'd presume youd have to otherwise your high bar/low bar will keep rising disproportionately??



Put the belt on and you'll see Wink

I am training it almost exclusively at the moment due an infection in my low bar position. Once that heals up I'll be back on low bars for the majority (aside from back off work) I missed 178kg fs three times last night, was sure I was gona make it Grin

Anyway...nice triple on the front! Hows that bench btw? I'm tempted to go tng for a bit of ego and hit 150+ Embarassed

You should jump to 170kg with the belt sharpish I expect. Its all about that 200kg!!!

Another quality session, think i may need more reps or progressive heavy singles on push press....realistically should was in shape for 3-4 reps at this weight but a misload by the training partner and a s**t effort on the 1st attempt at 105 f**ked me a bit. Recovered to hit a solid double...it was ok...i want 120kg for a single VERY SOON! Fronties were again good, second rep fairly tough....really want 160kg for a double beltless!!! Farmers im getting to grips with (literally ....sorry bad pun!!!Tongue ) 125kg set were hard off the floor and had very little to offer once o got moving, droppping back down to 100kg though i managed a solid effort grip starting to go at 30m. Finished with some bench...not bad after the prior work....this will come back up soon enough.


really enjoying my training again! Grin

Strong work mate

Suprised you dont find the 125 pick up/grip pretty easy considering you have a 290KG pull?

Thanks again! Yeah ive been a bit suprised too although the handles are around 18/19 inches off the floor (is this typical???) im prob only worth 250kg dead at the moment though and i think my conditioning is not great also....with a bit more deadlifting, fresh faced and belted up i would like to think i can get this and more up easier and hopefully go for more than just a 5 feet trot!

Sunday


1000

BW - 95.5kg


Felt pretty sore still from last session so i looked initially at doing some full cleans and poss some back....but that not quite how it turned out........



Warm up


Drills

hang clean (top of thigh) x3 (x1 push press/x1 strict press/ split jerk/x1)

barx3 sets
40x2sets
60x2 sets

Power Clean x1 + full clean x1

60x2(of each)x2
80x2(of each)
100x1(of each) x2

Power Clean

110kgx1

intention here was to keep to full cleans from here on in, but i woke up so much after a sloppy 110 i just kept power cleaning,

Power cleans from here....

110x1
115x1
120x1 = most ive caught on my shoulders this year!
125x1 equal all time PB
130kgx1 PB!


15 inch deadlift

100x2
150x1
190x1
230x1
250kgxF damn this is a horrible position

Clean Pull

150kgx2x4 sets


Front Squat

60x2
100x2
120x1
140kgx4 PB


UH Chins - BWx8x2 sets


Wowsers! didnt expect to go this well....but i'll take it lol! need to get deadflifting but thinking to keep it on the floor and DOH to aid my power cleans and grip strength for farmers....and just let the farmers bring my overall strength up each week....make sense??

Power cleans im very happy with but I think theres 10kg there shortly...the difference today...a little leg strength and a focus on pulling under the bar fast after the 2nd pull!

To do a front pb for reps at the end of the workout just show where my leg strength is going....very well.


Excited to see where i can get to in the coming weeks!
