Its natural too isnt it?
Thats the beauty of a well executed FS
Mimmicks the natural curve and posture of the human body. Makes u wanna "shit in a hole"
No leveraging the weight. No lean. Just get low and power up!
Great job!

It does and doesn't even really feel like you're super deep. With a wide stance back squat I've really gotta work to get deep.
FS saved my active life.
Getting away from the dogma of the BS was crucial for me
I can lift pain free and even ACCEL by leaving BS in the rear view.
I think FS have a ton more of applicable uses as well. The power and motion closely relates to actual movements one may make in alot of sport specific activities.

Yeah, low bar is causing me too many issues. Mainly wrecking my elbows. After this meet I'm going back to front squats with probably some single leg stuff for accessories. High bar when I'm closer to meets.

One of my powerlifting buddies had a hip problem from back squats. I switched him to front squats and now he won't even go back to back squats. Lol

It's great doing front squats with sumo deadlift because of that. Saves your hips for sumo.

Did a legit 315 FS. Highest I ever been though.
@Perrin Aybara yeah, I’m in for that if there’s anyone else gunning for 3 plates.
I’d also be in for a 600 DL if anyone is around 540 ish.

I had to buy my SSB.

I ALREADY GOT MY PAD AND PEN WITH ME. My gigantic yeti SS bottle and a towel.
I look like some scientific nerd mixed with the hulk who looks like a camping trip might breakout when i come to smash. Dont need to make it worse lol

The Texas deadlift bar and front squat harness aren't too bad to carry. The EliteFTS yoke bar on the other hand is a huge pain in the ass to carry on 3.

I’ve wanted 600 since before u got injured. I feel I can actually obtain it now.
I lowered my squat weight and started just doing high rep squats. I Hit 505 before I got injured and that was my only squat goal. I don’t compete so they’re not really worth the pain of maxing anymore.

Just have to say this: If Eddie Hall were to do a power lifting meet, I believe he’d be the GOAT raw lifter. Anyone care to disagree? i believe he’d have around a 2350-2450 raw total.

Nope, no goat. top 20 possibly after a few years of switching to powerlifting permanent. while I believe he’s very strong he’s also a suuuuuppper heavy weight. He would have to start pausing those benches, loose the straps/wagon wheels on deadlifts and squat without wraps .
Truth is some dude like Yuri Belkin or Kevin Oak would come along and smoke him at 220. Pl is a weight class sport but Id say Hall is Elite right now walk into any high level meet anywhere and probably place top 5 in his weight
