Very nice video, I can only assume that this attire is the precursor to the “Canadian Tuxedo”. I am impressed when a person wants to front squat so damn bad that they can’t wait the extra five minutes to change into…oh I don’t know…anything other than a flannel shirt and jeans, you are once again a hero from the north, well done.[/quote]
This is why Canadians are awesome. Front squatting in jeans in a rack in your own house. Way to live the dream. I’m serious.
BTW, I’m assuming the weights you post in here are in lbs? I just ask because I noticed you have 142.5 listed… and I have no idea how you would accomplish that with regular plates.

I love having my gym in my garage. I’ve been building it for three years now and it’s more than paid for itself.
Regarding the 2.5lbs, we have a friend who is a welder and machinist. In addition to building our clubs competition racks, he milled us tiny little 1.25lb plates. They are invaluable when I’m trying to progress on bench and MP where gains are slow.
I dont think I can manage a flannel- Im too urban.
maybe a gingham.
but nice front squats
I see allot of front squats that have knee movement with higher weights-
I think it has to do with bounce- either from the bar oscilating or bounding out of the hole
but that is my broscience input
I noticed what you said earlier about using the shitty chrome bar-
they will help grip fur sure

I’ve heard of making weights from bike chains and washers, but that sounds a tad more pro
Speaking of household gyms, I just ordered mine today. Now I can jean-squat with you. I may even break out the fuzzy pajama pants.

It was a lot of squat volume for me. Not smolov volume but a lot nonetheless. I was outlining my gain goals with my boss today. This morning I weighed 132. I want to get to 141 at current bf which i estimate to be 18%. 3 years ago Ddot did my bf and I was 13% and quite a bit leaner than I am now. I’d like to stay at my current fatness but get bigger. The volume is part of it. Pre-work out I had creatine and glutamine. I had a creatine rage at the gym. Not really but it would have been cool.
I listened to my ipod and this song came on that BB loaded for me.
Sweeeet. Not death metal squat music but I like it

Sorry man. It’s not all Rammstein. Besides, looking at those guys, I feel totally jacked. Don’t you have any music you’re embarrassed to admit you love?

A few days ago I watched on the internet the Spice Girls doing ‘who do you think you are’ from the 1997 British music awards.

Saturday February 11 - field trip to Y in St. Catharines
DL
135-5
185-3
225-2
245-6x3 no belt alternating grips
These all felt very heavy and not speedy off the floor. But I got them all done. Sometimes touch and go are much nicer. Dead stops are yucky.
Pull off low boxes
225-3
315-3x3
365-1
Front squats
135-5,5,4,4+1x2
The 4 plus 1 was a planned set of 5 but I was so bagged and slow that I started getting light headed with the bar at my throat that I racked it for a few seconds and then did the final rep.
CG bench
95-3x8
DB Suitcase deadlift
70-2x10/side
It was a nice trip out to see our some people from our club.
