Good work resurrecting this thread, ralst. I forgot to post my lift from a few months ago - 286lb (130kg)

Man hard to believe this started over a year ago...

Not much progress being made on front squats. I thought there were some Oly types out there :?

Anyway, new PB for me, 352lbs (160kg). Brings a couple of lifters into range for next maxout session :)

Currently doing 120kg for reps, haven't tried a max...
120kg (264) is a good starting point I guess.

Got you on the table man, solid weight for reps.

Do you think you'll try for a 1RM or just up the weight you can use slowly? I remember you saying you were avoiding low-rep stuff at the moment.

Yeah, I figure it's a good starting point.
I'm enjoying the Fronties a lot, I haven't done them for ages.
I'll going to try and up the weight and drop the reps in the next little while.
I'm finally over my last injury (Elbow-) and pretty keen to do some heavier stuff again, I'll just take it easy and see how it goes.

Great work Sydney - bit of training and you can overtake that boastful Spug, and the young pretender Jakob :wink:

Don't underestimate The Spug. He just has THE FEAR. 182kg is doable right now, in the bag, fully zipped up, but he doesn't have the bottle.
