Stoaty Stylee - Operation: Big Unit

[baldy]

Front squatting machine, how are they feeling?

[thestoatyone]

Starting to get a bit grindy, but touching the bars so definitely deep enough. Elbows starting to drop, bit still strong. Deads nice and smooth, although I nearly passed out in the last set of presses!

[thestoatyone]

Yet another cold. Suboptimal. Been partying too hard I think, hence missed workouts

f x 127.5kg Didn't even get out of the hole. Oh well.

Well done on the PB, where did you get pinned?
3x3 at 117.5kg is very impressive would have guessed you could get 130kg 1RM. Maybe just an off day?

[thestoatyone]

Maybe. Got pinned after about and inch of upward motion, think I had too much hip-tucking-under going on. My tech ain't up to much, and I've still not got my head around grinding them out, tend to bail. 130kg is in there somewhere; maybe the next time I get it into my head to do a front-squat sequence.
