Front Squat Hand Positioning

I got it!!! This is a great idea (yeah it’s my own idea but it’s still great! Lol)

We/you guys should establish a day and time to post the videos. In the essence of fairness it would make it a level playing field for both parties involved, MM & Swolle, to go balls out without the opportunity to know what number to beat.

So both posters should film and hit their set of Max Reps and then both post the videos on the same day/time for the competition.

I think that’s a great idea :slight_smile: glad I thought of it.

They don’t have to mess up their week.

They should each have at least one leg day this week right? Well today is Monday so by Friday evening they should more than likely have hit legs. So let them hit their set on whichever day is their leg day (one could be today while the other could be Thursday, hypothetically) but then they both post Friday night? Or something similar to that.

That way they each hit their set on legs day and neither has the advantage of knowing a number to beat.

Swolle seems to be avoiding posting a video instead wanting to see Meat’s video first before he will post his own. Swolle has a video in his hub posted June of last year of a single for 315lbs. This makes his claims a little less believable, though, I guess we won’t know until videos are posted.


Not since the 80’s has their been such an anticipated event…

so…i went in tonight to do my front squat set with 405. i didn’t want to wait until saturday which would be my normal squat day. i think i did okay. i really had no idea how many i would do. i don’t do rep work with moderate to heavy weight at all and it showed. the weight felt light but my upper back fatigued big time around 5. i got the sixth but coming up on the 7th rep my chest caved and i dropped the bar. i know in no time i can get these up around 10 but that wasn’t the challenge. I guess i could have not posted this and tried again later in the week but that’s not how i do things… i tried it and THIS is what i can do right now.

Swolle the number to beat is 405 x 6. if you are the front squat expert you say you are you should smash that number. If you do…i’m gone from T-Nation forever.

here’s the vid.

Great job meat!

Beastly^^

Edit: Damn, Kalle beat me!

COME ON SWOLLE

7 7 7

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I’ll squat tmrw and post tmrw night…

Smooth like butter…fuck yeah Meat!

Impressive as always MM! Yet you are somehow a “puss”.

Meat is the old wise man of TNat. I don’t care if Swole is stronger than him or not, how dare he come after him like he did.

I’m pretty butt hurt, like that scene in Four Brothers when someone killed their mom.

Nice set, meat!!

looked good MM.

Looking forward to seeing Swolle’s vid tomorrow.

Get the children and the ladies out of main street for it is …

HIGH REP NOON!

I hope Swolle gets injured and cannot squat so we get to keep them both.
405 x 7 is doable for a front squat expert.
Either way, we’ll lose a pair of strong quads.

If he does 6, let’s call it even, shall we?

I actually have a feeling Swolle can beat 405 x 6, we shall see. I really hope he doesn’t or if he can, he does 6 reps only because meat is the most badass poster and knowing him, he WILL leave T-Nation if he gets bested.
