A video of Kingfish squat from that angle with a similarly easy weight would probably look pretty similar, but he always films from rear angles.
Edit: Which is to say, yes, that squat's so perfect

Why did they have her running so slowly in that gold sequin dress? Looked like the people in that actual stiletto race were blazing.

Why don't you just make front squat your primary exercise? It seems close enough to your back squat at the moment that your rack strength isn't an issue.

what happened to sets of 5 for squats? is three triples enough volume?

"WE have seen some bicep tendon shifts when the width of the handles had been about 32 in. Although uncommon they also can come out with narrower grips but with lats pulling shoulders to hips and elbows over hands biceps seem to be alright. If biceps tendon comes out we have seen success putting the arp on triceps, taking it to 10 in the head and doing 200-300 wooden dowl curls. Usually brings it back into place."

« on: September 11, 2013, 02:16:37 pm »By the way - I agree with entropy about gaining weight to gain squat numbers. I mean... I'd get to a 100 kg bodyweight at 6'0 with a 180 kg squat... but what would that do on the actual field? Each and every jump would be such a shock and such a destroyer of joints at that point... I would jump a few times and then need to go home. And as I have terrible cardio ability, carrying that weight with me and trying to move it around would be TERRIBLE.
So... it doesn't make any sense (in my position) to get there.
As for squatting - looking at my recent squats that I've filmed... they look really good IMO even as low bar squats. Mutombo should go with low bar IMO.
You don't look very lean though. You could probably be the same weight as you are right now with a way bigger squat.

« on: September 11, 2013, 09:28:15 am »Those look really nice. I'd say it's ok train with higher reps 5-8 while you're learning the movement. You'll get more benefit that way than doing low reps with light weight. Later when your FS catches up with your BS you can switch to low reps for strength. In the mean time you'll gain more by strengthening your rack (via longer reps). FWIW Danny Green trains exclusively with higher reps on FS, he says it does more for his leg strength. I think that's probably true when your FS is heavy enough that high reps are sufficiently heavy to work your legs hard but the rest of us get more out of lower reps for building leg strength.
He's not above the occasional triple.
