Solid day of pulling. Gotta work on wedging every set. Got a lil loose on the 435+chain set which is why it looked slow in the vid.

Nice front squats.
Thanks. The interesting thing is I get a bit lightheaded when the weight starts to get heavy which is why I drop down to doubles. I'm wondering if it's from pulling first, in addition to my PreWO. That was why I added the fatigue drop at the end. 295 isn't heavy and I wanted to see how I would feel. This seems to take place once the weight hits 315 or more. I wouldn't care about dumping the bar if I was in my gym with my safety straps but at the commercial gym there is nothing to catch the bar, so I opt to drop the reps. I'm intrigued to see how next week goes b/c I'll add another 10+ to the bar.

I think that's common with heavy front squats. I don't do more then 5 reps either when I do them. Ever tried them with the SSB?

I haven't. It's odd though b/c I used to go as heavy as 405 for 5's when I was Oly lifting without any issue. I was performing them every week though and perhaps my infrequency of performing the lift has me a bit out of it when I do.

Screw that, 5 reps is cardio. 3 max on Fronts!!! 🤣

Yep. Ssb flipped around makes a world of difference on front squats
I don't have a problem getting into position. I know some use it b/c they lack the wrist flexibility.

Yeah I prefer to hit triples for front squats.

That's probably my favorite conditioning, weighted carries for time. I'll probably switch to actual farmer's carries after finals.

This week has been a shit show to say the least. Trained on Tues and that's been it. I'll squat today and OHP Sunday. I'll do my sled pulls on Sat. The owners of my company decided to come in this week which has fucked me all up.

Good news though... On the 3rd Molecular Cell Bio, I got a 114. I was very happy with that. I have my final on Monday over 18 chpts so I've been studying non stop. I have my Evolution class on Wed over 20 chpts.

Undergrad in Bio/ Chem. Then it's off to grad school for either P.A. or MicroBio.
That's a tough choice career wise. I did the nursing prereqs a few years back, thought I wanted to become a nurse. All I saw was $$$ it was a huge mistake. I'd go with microbiology myself, I can't handle the beurocracy of the medical professions.

Well... 1 down and 1 to go. The Molecular Cell Final was ridiculous, but I wouldn't expect anything less. I'm hoping I got the extra credit and then with the curve I can manage to get what I need. If I got half of the test correct, I'd be impressed (would probably equal an 80 with the curve).

You picked better majors than I did. I stupidly went with nursing and after getting my prereqs done with a 3.8 GPA reality set in and I still haven't finished. One of my group mates in Anatomy had a 4.1 with stellar ECs and letters of recommendation and couldn't get any nursing programs to take her serious. My 3.8 may as well have been a 1.1 lol. Fucking waste of time.
