Wanted to find a more quad dominant exercise for after dl’s. Can’t get on with front squats, found back squatting to bench is OK, I’m way off parallel, but can really feel it in quads and should be able to really load it going forwards.

How many logs do we have to post it in? Fronts Squats Suck.

Nice work on those deads.

I lack wrist flexability to hold bar Olympic style, with arms crossed the bar kept slipping around, tried straps but felt more of a shoulder than leg exercise.
I think I’m going to like the squatting to bench, I’ll be able to load more than a normal to parallel Squat which should give me more confidence on those when the weights get heavier.

Because Front Squats objectively suck.

Squats felt great today, really concentrated on driving hips through at the top. I think I prefer not squatting in front of a mirror, with my set up at home there’s a shadow of the bar cast on the wall in front and a mark I can hit for depth. Found them easier than the last 5x5 at 112.5kg. Might not be stalling at 120kg.

Bumped the weight up for rdls, think I was just wimping out the last few sessions.

Having more days off seems to be working really well. 12 days since I last did the above workout and I was near failing the final rep of bench sets 4 and 5 then. Today with 2.5kg more they flew up.

So that kinda like a box squat? In any case, those are some big numbers.
