Yea. Im following a bodybuilding split. Chest+Bis, Legs, Rest, Shoulders+Tris, Back, Rest, Repeat.
I only follow 5/3/1 for the main lift on each day, then follow a more bodybuilding set/rep scheme for the rest of my exercises or w/e I feel like doing on any given day.

Looks to me like your sitting too far back on the front squats. Your going to lose the weight as soon as it gets heavy. Keep your torso more upright and force your knees out, squat down instead of back.

Looks like he’s doing that little low-back dip thing too at the bottom… That can really get you injured…
I agree with Mike, knees out and stay more upright, it’s not a PL back squat
“We’re motorin’!”
I don’t know whether to give you 9000 points for getting anything done with Sister Christian blaring, or subtract 9000 points because Sister Christian is blaring.
Trav, you might want to research “butt wink” (ass curling under at the bottom) and take measures to correct that. Also, check out Mauraudermeat’s two threads in “Over 35”-- that’s the master front squatter there.
