Have you seen those sows without a burka?
I’d have run in front of your bullets too if I had to go home to that.
Lol.
Me too! That would be impressive to see, especially with proper form. Back squat has always been one of my stronger lifts and I could certainly post higher weight for reps with back squat. I COULD NOT do that front squat without considerable time training core to stabilize the weight. I’ve done several of the recent challenges, but I doubt I could even do one 405 front squat at this point. Would love to see someone else knock it out! @asmonius since we are all tapping, feel free to post a video as a pure “flex”!

I’d be happy with a legit raw 405 lb back squat right now. Used to be a fairly easy lift, but I haven’t done much squatting for over a year now. I’d give myself about a 25% chance of being able to do it right now. Front squat 405 lbs, I give myself a 0.00000001% chance.

I could hit half a rep with 405, lol.

I could even hit depth with a “half” rep haha.

You can likely do it if you start back squatting again considering your size. It’s a very reachable lift for even moderately framed men.

My PR with front squats was 315 for 6 to the basement.

I think anything over 315 is pretty impressive for a front squat.
I agree. I have actually added squats back in recently (a couple months now, but it was at least a year I didn’t do them). I am keeping the squats to 3 sets a week. Couple of reasons. I get pretty beat up (hips, shoulders, and low back) from squats. I also just don’t “get” squats like I do other lifts. Even when I was doing them a lot, I’d be really inconsistent with form with weight I should be able to have good form on. It wasn’t a lack of trying on the form and consistency. Because of the form inconsistency, doing squats is rather unpleasant. The set might go great, or there might be a few weird good morning type lifts in the set (it seems random, sometimes its the first or second rep, so I am not sure it’s due to fatigue). The latter really doesn’t feel good to do haha.

Well, then they didn’t read it. They want to get homosexuals and trans people to see the GOP as their common enemy, however, there are many homosexuals who identify as Republicans.
True… but Republicans absolutely suck at actually connecting with people. Fucking nerds.
Leftist rejects ban together way better

I like the front squat call-out from @asmonius. IMO a strength feat call-out should never be off-limits in any forum on T-Nation. Especially if you can post the video to back your feat up.
Internet fight challenges that you all know will never take place just make you look like chumps. Stop it. Get some help. Chances are there’s someone in your area who can show you your own butthole.
I haven’t front squatted anything particularly heavy, even when I could squat fairly heavy. I never pushed the strength envelope on front squats. Double 70 lb KB’s is the heaviest I’ve front squatted for reps since I’ve entered my 40’s.
I’ll also answer @asmonius political rhetoric call-out. What do you think the conservative individuals who you decry ought to be doing with regards to racial activism?

40 Front Squats For Freedom!
I don’t know what that even means, but it uses alliteration and end with Freedom.

I have a follow up question for anyone to answer: After after 80 years and billions of dollars and man-hours spent fighting racism and trying to close the socioeconomic gap between different groups, without the intended outcome happening, what should we all do now? I’m asking seriously.
I don’t know about you people, but if I spent 80 years on something, even if it were for good intentions, and it didn’t work, I’d call it quits and accept the world for what it is, just as I accept American society is finished and still go on with my business.
And no, I’m not saying, “Hey guys, all these efforts went to shit, so let’s just start mistreating people!” I have to put this out there for those looking for racism who might say, “Whatcha tryin’ ta say, it’s OK to be racist cuz efforts didn’t work?”
