It got rough at the end but basically did it as 40s work 20-30s rest each round.

242

Sounds like enough time to take 3-4 deep breaths and then address the bar and prepare for power cleans.

Exactly

Oh, snap! Youā€™ve been hiding the fact that youā€™re a beast! 335 lb front squats? Iā€™m jealous. And Iā€™ll never do that because that ROM may or may not have helped my hip impingement along.

I mean Iā€™ve posted 365x9 back squats and 355x5 safety bar squats and mid 4 deadlifts so shouldnā€™t be a big surprise! But yeah - a good little session for a tall fatty today!

248

I donā€™t know what it is about front squats but they stand out when youā€™re repping 3+ plates. Itā€™s way less common to see that.
