Front Squat Hand Positioning

A new low.

Fuck this noise.

Swolle, nice job on the front squats. I also applaud you on your demeanor in your reply. Also good luck in your next competition.

Meat, sayonara my man. It was good learning from you all these years.

I like arms crossed but I’ll probably try the strap method after seeing it here.

Wow. That was really saddening. I’m all for watching a friendly challenge, but not with stakes that high. We all lost here.

This thread might’ve been the coolest shit ever on T-Nation. Both solid weight with solid numbers, too bad the insults were a little over the top, and MM really took a suckers bet(which I’m surprised for a Gym owner). I learned a long time ago that somebody can be stronger than you if you do their workout. It’s funny how precise the body is and what it adapts to.

Some times honor can be bad just watch Game of Thrones, but if MM can break his word it would be cool if both of them do a more complete competition. Since this was Swolles specialty, Meat choose the next one, or they both decide on a group of exercises. Maybe it’ll lead to some more competitions.

Either way I don’t front squat but don’t see Swolles win as proof that MM is wrong as grip less has seemed to help more than one person, and I’ve witnessed far more people fuck up a gripped front squat.

Something tells me it is swolle here that wants 6 months to work on his front squat lol. [/quote]

Lol @ 4-6 inches deeper for more reps. And at him “delaying”…wasn’t the challenge issued yesterday or the day before? So where is YOUR video then? Rest assured, meat will have a vid up of him repping 405 soon. How about you?[/quote]

Lol x2 @ 4-6 inches deeper. I look forward to meat continuing to post on this site.[/quote]

Well, he needs to wait on meat so that he has a number in mind, and then proceed to dig up the most obscure video on the interwebz of someone repping 1 more rep than that and posting it here as his own.

DUH![/quote]

Swolle seems real confident right now, kinda suspicious to me lol… How do we know he is even using “real” 45 pound plates? Couldn’t he easily do what Andy Hammond did on his 600 pound bench video.

Post your video today or you are just a shit talker. Meat called you out and you have stalled for days now trying to turn it back on him. You were called out, post your max reps for 405.[/quote]

I like some of these posters. Being said, I thought these quotes were really funny in hindsight. Some poeple acting like swolle is just trollin and isn’t an accomplished lifter…

I was realy afraid swole would beat him and had a bad feeling he would . . .

Props to you swole, for addressing the issue like you did. Nice set.

Meat, damn it I hate to see you go. It makes it a lot easier to know that you’ve been thinking of leaving for some time now (and it makes sense). You were always one of the guys mosty everyone on here respected and looked up to. You will definitely be missed, but I would love to see a post from time to time giving your BOIs an update on where you’re at (ESPECIALLY the results from your meet this October).

Thanks for everything you’ve done while you were here. It is a sad day for TNation indeed. Hopefully over the years I will be able to give back just a fraction of what you have.

Ha - touche Maiden. Looks like I owe someone $200…DAMNIT!

Very impressed with swolle. A lot of us ate our words here, including myself. It sucks in a sense that some people actually have the class that meat, and now swolle have displayed; but at the same time, it says a lot about them both.

Swolle backed his shit up and was big enough (no pun intended) to offer an apology for his behavior. That’s why I later made the post below.

Not that it matters, but the apology gained more of my respect than the lift. That showed some class, Swolle. Helluva nice job on the lift, though, as well. [/quote]

Well

The blame is mostly on gregron but you all share in it.

You all could’ve just chilled and let swollen say his stuff and roll on. All of you escalated this shit. Lol

Don’t be sad now

I like this guy. Tells it like it is.

I don’t feel shame, since I was the first to petition for a six-rep compromise.

Seems to me, Marauder Meat is maybe just weary of TNation.

Whatever reasons, I wish him the best.

Goodbye, Marauder.

I’m going to miss reading your posts in BoI, MM.

Sad to see you go.

This is entirely eightohfive’s fault. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START A THREAD WITH A QUESTION EIGHTOHFIVE!!!

Also, I have a perspective to share on the argument escalation and the childishness that took place before Swolle and MM decided to disappear. Apologizing after you start a fire doesn’t necessarily make up for burning down a building. I don’t understand why Swolle got the props he did just because he apologized (and also squatted in a video). Apologies are great, but they don’t always repair the damage done by the initial actions. Just some thoughts.

DAMMIT EIGHTOHFIVE ALLYOURFAULT!

lololol

F you rock!!!

The apology kind of ruined it for me. All Swolle did was talk trash, then back it up. He just happened to be a good trash talker. If people want some real Testosterone filled competition that deal with it.
