Some nice clean and jerking going on tonight Joni, listen to Alan and you can't go wrong!!!Grin

Tony - a pure front squat should be arse to ankle as that is where you get the bounce to reflex up. People may disagree and say parallel is enough, but i don't think so i may be in the minority however

well i definitely dont go that deep!!! Grin

basically the way i see it fronts are an assistance movement for loads of things ranging from overhead stregth to many strongman events like stones. I try to break the parallel, sometimes i miss it, sometimes not, but that is the aim.

yeah yesterdays cleans started to feel good at around the set 10! Such a long way to go still but at least making baby step progress which is what i am aiming to do.

Adlington!

Deadlifts
got confused again because of the pounds, but something like:
1x205
1x222.5 - felt strong
fx241 - blah, stupid to even try but caved in to peer pressure Grin
2x215ish

Strict press
5x60
3x80
fx90 - wtf?
7x80

Front squats with a clean grip - ass to grass
5x60
3x80
3x97
3x115
3x125
2x135

hey these felt better than i thought, first time i tried this grip properly, and also the ass to grass "bounce", that felt very strong. Will stick to these unless elbow gives grief (might need to get elbow sleeves).

some singles with 60kg clean & jerk just to drill the tech stuff learned on monday, but was pretty beat already at this stage.

How much of a fail was the 240?

Joni I have a Inxer max DL going spare. I'm going to bring it to the North West. You've got first refusal if it fits mate.

thanks buddy, much appreciated, but you know what, i have a METAL VIKING DEADLIFTER just waiting there in the closet Wink

When i fail it is usually just on the floor, if it moves i usually nail it, so it makes sense a fail looks like an absolutely horrid no-chance fail!

I think that 1 extra kilo was a little too much, you got a bit greedy there mate. 240 would have gone Tongue

He got it a couple of inches off the floor.

You took like a duck to water on those clean grip fronties. Putting me to shame on these now, I really need to sort out my front squat!
