After swimming some 100’s I decided to take a shot at a 50m sprint and check my time. Turns out after all this time of not touching a single sprint I managed a 29sec 50. Right on the dot of where I was at the end of swim season during my freshman year. Also figured out I can still do a 50m no breather.
Also had some fun and played a 4 on 4 water polo match with some friends and random folks and managed to score a few goals, my team won the match and I played what I’d say is a pretty damn good game.
Nice to see I have still retained some of my water abilities.

Deload this week so I thought I’d post some of the benefits I’ve reaped with my body comp these past 4 weeks. Solid 193lbs/87kg BW and the best I’ve felt in ages.

@duketheslaya implemented the turned hands and it made all the difference lol. I’ve been working at mobility in my wrists too but man the slight turn of my hands made a world of difference! Praise to the young front squat god! Maybe now I can try to chase your front squat, my big question for you now is how the fuck do you not pass out?! I had to unrack and re-rack 115kg 3 or 4 times before I was able to get under it and not almost immediately pass out.

Awesome, I’m glad it helped!

Hehe! Wait till the next 12 week training cycle comes. I’m pushing for 170 atleast but I’m going to hit 180(I might be cheeky and buy some tight ass sleeves loll). I think I have 160 in me now. 150kg had some knee cave but it wasn’t a grind at all and didn’t feel like 100%. I have to work on keeping tight in the hole, my knees out and bracing!

Unrack the bar higher,since you dont have to get as low you can position it better as well as it’s easier to unrack and feels better. (I said this in video) When unracking squeeze your glutes and once you’ve walked it out squeeze your glutes, Get set and let out a little air and take some in and get as tight as possible before you rep. It must be an individual thing idk, all I know is if I’m not tight enough when walking out and unracking I get crushed and cant breathe so maybe you’re not tight enough. Also without a belt you’re not creating as much intra abdominal pressure so it’s harder to breathe with that as well.

Ah.. so I won’t be catching up to you anytime soon. Hopefully this longer cycle my coach has me doing can push my front squat numbers up pretty high, but coach wants me to build my base strength right now so I don’t see it happening. Maybe 150 Front squat after this cycle.I reckon with a belt I could hit 130-138.

Yeah I’m gonna push my bodyweight up to 100kg with a massive bulk and hit that 180 soon lol. Weighing 93kg (skinny boi) What’s your back squat? My back squat is weak!! I barely hit 150kg for 3 a couple of weeks back. My technique is trash lol :frowning: will trade front squat gains for back squats technique plss

Last time I back squatted I hit 160 x1 beltess after a huge leg workout while pissing around with my buddy. Maybe with some introductory work back into my back squat I could hit 180.

No homo but It’s no surprise with those big sexy quads of yours :heart_eyes::rofl:
