Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: how to front squat

If I knew how... yeah... I have no idea of upperbody stretches etc. If I am to pretend I keep a bar on my hands and point the elbows forward, my hands would end up somewhere in the middle neck/trapezius area. They just are very long and end up there. There's no way to hold a bar, I just don't get it.

I'd love to front squat, but the highest I can get my elbow to be is basically pointing down... so the bar sits on the chest supported by the arms. Impossible to front squat that way.

No but I thought that maybe you could work on that without your injury flaring up.

What happens if you do glute stuff like KB swings? (if you have access to a kettlebell)

What about pure glute stuff like hip thrusts?

Haha. Still it's such a big difference... it's pretty weird. I haven't tried to max out on the leg press nowadays though, so who knows how much I suck now?

I also feel a lot of posterior chain when I'm leg pressing unless I really really focus on pushing with the balls of the feet... wtf...

Pretty weird... so your leg press numbers are that weak? How come you can half squat more than me then?

I think my best leg press numbers were about 350 kg (770 lbs) x 5 or something like that, deep leg presses. And that was a LONG time ago.

« on: January 12, 2013, 12:01:45 pm »
The pistol squat depends quite a bit on how much balance you have as well... so if you have balance issues then the prime movers won't be stimulated as much as in a squat, even if you meet those criteria.

It's very important to really squeeze the glute and have permanent hip stability to really work the prime movers in the pistol squat.

Workout + good nutrition + adequate sleep = 100% success.

This^^^

It's funny but of these 3 things it's possible that good nutrition + good rest is more important than working out in itself. I mean you can probably get away with playing ball aggresively, having good nutrition and good rest and still increase your athleticism quite a bit just doing plyos (increase force just from the TUT you get from doing plyos/playing/running etc).

The same cannot be said if you workout perfectly but you mess up with your food and recovery.
