How do you like the high-rep front squats? I was never able to progress at that exercise until I started doing them with low reps; a T-Nation article I forget by who clued me into the rep range change.
Pretty straight forward to be honest. The usual grind at the end of the set, wee bit of wrist pain and upper back almost giving out before the the legs.
However a lot less taxing on the lower back than back squats.
I havenāt done a back squat since I fucked my back in during the first half of the year. They really give my right wrist a ton of grief as well.
Btw that workout earlier on fucking rinsed me out. I also had to do 2 spin classes the day.

Not at all mate. Working out without a full belly is pretty natural to me.

Iām with you on this - cannot work out after eating. Of course, training at 6am means that thereās little time to eat beforehand tooā¦

Howās it going, Highlander?
From the Clan McChong!!
I meant good mate.
Currently on building nursery duties and creating a beefy dad bod
Glad to hear itās going well, and youāre fully involved in all aspects of dad-hood!
One of my grandparents was Scottish; we got keychains with the family crest and everything. Lol. Tres modern.
Really?
I hope you have a kilt with your family tartan matey
I donāt, actually. Other than going to Scotland, how would I go about locating which kilt my family has? My dadās been to Scotland a couple times, hence knowing the family crest. My family (Watts) is a subset of a larger clan, but I forget which. I should ask him.
ETA: which tartan belongs to my family
