Front Squats Dem Front Squats 2016-12-22 04:43:57 Post No. 39763918 [Report]

Any tips on increasing my front squat max from 225 lbs (102 kg) to 405 lbs (184 kg)? I really want a heavy ass front squat and I want to be explosive beyond measure. Planning on buying some Nike Romaleos for this goal. Any programs you folks would recommend? Also gonna be implementing some bodybuilding routines with the front squat routine. Would Smolov for front squats be a crazy idea? Would salute the input.

5/3/1 works slow and steady

You realize that's a huge gap, right anon? No one program or strategy is going to get you there. If you work hard you might be able to get there before 2018

Yea, smolov for frontsquats would work, but you wouldnt gain 80kg on your FS in one cycle.

It ain't so hard. 5/3/1 is the way to go or at least some variation

>atually thinking about doing Smolov on front squats while having a 2pl8 front squat
jesus christ OP have you even looked at the percentages of it? Would be basically impossible to do for you.
Just do 5/3/1, 5/1 (Karls Method, look it up) or a HLM strength template to get your FS up.

Should be able to LP for a while. 6x3 is a good set/rep for front squats. After that maybe texas method?
