I mean you lost me at front squats.

1202

I know. I was simultaneously thinking of ways to break down the movement and train each phase separately just to avoid front squats.

I think top half front squats would work. You donā€™t see people drop into a full squat before jumping so why not just train the specific range of motion? Maybe push press with a more deliberate dip?

Now you are talking my language. I almost donā€™t suck at push presses.

A nice progression for choke slams would be to go to the playground and practice on a small child. Once he/she becomes too easy then grab a slightly larger child. Continue until youā€™re slamming their mothers and eventually the fathers.

Get your game together. Thereā€™s a 17 year old girl in Korea who front squats 210kg

No, sheā€™s just built like a brick shithouse, and normally when people apply that saying to a girl sheā€™s just a bit stocky and itā€™s an exaggeration, but this girl is an absolute unit.

Criminy. I might crumple if I just had to hold 160 in the rack position.

Shoulder day. Was kinda going to do push presses as an accessory, but kinda forgot somehow. Was fairly tired from yesterday, a combination of the workout, the sun and too much wine, so I probably didnā€™t have the energy for it anyway. As it was, I wasnā€™t sure I was going to get through the planned lifts.

  • Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP)

    • 30 kg x 5 reps
    • 40 kg x 5 reps
    • 45 kg x 3 reps
    • 55 kg x 5 reps
    • 60 kg x 5 reps
    • 70 kg x 5 reps
    • 45 kg x 20 reps
    • 45 kg x 18 reps
    • 45 kg x 15 reps

  • Muscle-Up

    • 1 reps
    • 2 reps
    • 1 reps

This all felt pretty tough, but I concentrated on making the reps good, making sure to put my head through even on the 350 set. That said, even though I donā€™t track RPE, those last four sets all felt like 9s and 10s. Part of that is fatigue, but part of that is that I am very close the my ceiling. Might do one more week of this, but then I suspect I will have to change the approach a little.

I saw the video, it didnā€™t even look that hard for her

To be fair, her pants size is a bit bigger than mine.

To be fair, sheā€™s probably using them there steroids or genetics or creatine or something. Definitely cheating somehow.
