Member 3863, 1275 posts SQ 155, BP 110, DL 182447.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Advice is great guys! But I agree with the limit lift, my front squat has never been big and I have started the Russian Squat programme for back squat just to improve lower body strength however I still think I need to front squat... Just to throw this out there... I think my pull is very lazy? Watching the best guys do it they almost throw their head back whereas I just look like I'm having a picnic and being a girl? | ||

You know, the Russian Squat routine was designed for front squats, not back squats. If your serious about weightlifting then your front squat number, especially as you're now cleaning right on it's limit, is far more important than your back squat number. Don't throw your head back, you'll probably end up throwing your shoulders back as well and that results in falling over backwards. I know pyrros dimas is the main culprit for people seeing people throw their heads back, but you shouldn't do it I wouldn't worry about your pull for the time being. It's not going to be as fast as someone who's been lifting 10-years cos you'll still be thinking of things as you go through the movement which slows everything down. You'll get to a point where everything is automatic and then you can really concentrate on getting fast! | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Just for a change... I DISAGREE WITH SIMON. I think a bigger back squat (high bar) will equal a bigger frontie but not vice versa. Front squats aren't actually a great representation of the clean and the back squat is the best strength developer. Just stirring the pot really Great lifting today! | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6844 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | You appear to have succumb to the temptation to chase numbers instead of learning how to lift, as a result your lifting (by evidence of the two latest videos) has gone to s**t. Take a step back mate and get some steady training in and learn how to lift before you get carried away with chasing PBs. I am sure this advice will fall on deaf ears, and please feel free to tell me to f**k right off | ||

Member 3863, 1275 posts SQ 155, BP 110, DL 182447.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | f**k right off no I'm kidding... I am putting a lot of practice in the lower weights I look much much better than I used to with the lower weights honest. That 100kg and the 70kg snatch were just total surprise lifts I didn't think I'd make them in 100 years so as a result I turn into Spazzy McGee | ||

Can still nail the snatch Member 168, 758 posts SQ 205, BP 90, DL 202.5497.5 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | I would do sets of 3s get some work in snatch, cleans, Jerks, CJ front and back squats and pulls first (3x3,5x3) I used to do 100 % pulls(of snatch and clean) and maximum pulls as they turn into deadlifts | ||
