Lifetime Best Front Squat

11/21/2017

0 Comments

 
​When I first started this six week block of strength training, I didn’t realize how close I would come to achieving some personal best lifts.  In January of 2008 I set a personal best front squat max of 365lbs.  Not great, but a respectable lift.  I was 26 years old.  I had just set a personal best 35lb. Weight Throw a few weeks earlier.  I was in pretty good shape.  However, I did not train for many reps.  My best three rep set is 335lbs.  Up until I looked through one of my old training journals, I realized that I was in position to set some personal best weight for reps sets. 
​Last week I set a five rep personal best with 275lbs. in the front squat.  You can see that video below.  I achieved this best in my garage gym.
​Today, while training with one of my athletes at Nazareth College, I broke my personal best by 25lbs., hitting 300lbs. for five reps.  I’m 35 years old.  I haven’t trained very consistently in a couple of years.  I just set another personal best.  You can view that video below.
My lifetime best front squat is 365lbs.  I have three weeks left of this cycle.  I think I may have an opportunity to break that personal record.  I have been feeling pretty good the past few months.  We’ll see what happens in three weeks.
 
Thanks for following along on my journey towards master’s throwing in 2018!
