Leg day - front squats

Many people have trouble with front squats. I suggest doing front squats with an empty bar at the start of each workout to improve your form.

Remember, strength training is a skill - like juggling. You have to learn how to get your mind to control your muscles. So its not just your biceps that are curling the weight, but your brain as well.

Anbd each workout your skill will get better with practice.

Todays workout went like this...

1) Clean and press (3x3)

2a) Front Squat (4x3) - 225
2b) pushups (4x15)

Weak on squats today, dunno why. Frustrating.

3a) narrow GM (3x10) -175
3b) pullups (3 sets)

4) KB Side bends (3x15)

Oh well, finished strong,
