>>42376535
Just jack off and work out fueled by your repressed anger.
Work your rear (ass hole and spine) and overload the top, since you got past the hard part of the lift.
Also pause where you are weak at when you do back off sets.
>Also give me a program to get respectable squats still.
>>
>>42376558
You can see that my body tried to shift over to the quads, as they are the strongest part but still too weak to finish the lift.

>Also give me a program to get respectable squats still.

You asking me to give you a program?

i'm sure the OP appreciates your valuable input, you pencil necked little runt

height/weight/time training? that's an impressive front squat
>>
>>42376549
i can't squat anywhere near that much. ima be able to walk when i'm 50 though.

you weren't close on that rep, meaning you added way too much weight out of ego.

Fuck yea i lift out of ego, got most of my PRs going for "stupid" attempts

Your gym looks nice though, is this in Sweden? And is it a normie gym or a WL club?

Good thing you are symmetrical.

Cant really tell what let up first leg or abs. That means keep doing what you doing and you will get it.

For me its mostly abs, if not spine rounding during front squats prs I could 180kg by now too.

160kg here

>>42376605
I've done a true max on FS one (1) time in my life, and I ended up passing out after bailing due to the pressure on my carotid arteries, it's a lift where you should really be most concerned with speed.

Is it a WL club or a normie gym?

I don't really care how you feel. You posted a video of bad form on a failed rep of an ego lift and are getting praise from little number chasing cocksuckers.

>>
>>42376634
If the bar speed slows down that much its close to a true max, which is a generally bad idea on a front squat on account of the high pressure on your neck, you might not even have time to bail if you pass out.

Anon, the only reason I come to /fit/ is to try to help people. If that includes tough love, so be it. But you aren't a lovable person, you're the type who instantly and immediately goes on the attack.

It is no stretch to think that you go on the attack so quickly and you pursue high PRs for the same reason, some kind of perceived or experienced inadequacy.

I'm going to give you a mantra that I want you to live by because all three of the videos you've posted show breakdowns in form at various points.

"If a rep wasn't performed with perfect form, a rep was not performed"

This has never not been true and cannot be disputed by anyone. Period.

I just want you to be able to walk, even though I don't like you.

>>42376794
They're saying my technique is inherently bad for my back, and that its a good morning, and that i wont be able to walk at 50. The 180kg attempt ill agree, i did go into flexion, but not so much that im worried. But ideally, id have no flexion at all.

>>42376800
oh they are talking about the 4plate

it's not that bad you just missed it because of, as you said, thoracic spine rounding which isn't that bad and it usually what causes people to lose fronts anyway

as far as it being a good morning it isn't because your hips and chest rise at the same time until your sticking point

this is why /fit/ is shit; people who don't know anything armchair coaching people who actually lift while never having picked up a barbell in their life
literally trappy tier
>>
>>42376839
You can see i was getting my knees under me again, if my quads were a tiny bit stronger i think id be able to grind it out. But sadly i did not.

Exactly, very few on fit actually lifts, it really has become a sad shitter board. I miss the days when supermong would endlessly shit on armchair-coach fags
>>
>>42376849
yeah true i didn't even see that knee movement just weak glutes; you could probably grind it out but you already know what your issues are etc

/fit/ has changed so much, i came here in 2010 and it was so much better than this
now it's just endless manlet threads; fat people hate and other stupid shit and very little actual discussion about lifting and what little is constantly commented on by people with little to no experience with anything past beginner gains

being strong isn't an accomplishment. putting up a pr isn't an accomplishment. it doesn't matter in any way, shape, or form

hurting yourself impairs your ability to enjoy life in the long term. reaching a PR does not give you some huge life enjoyment unless there is something wrong with you

I'm a person with perspective, regardless of what you define as an accomplishment, it's irrelevant. You seem to absolutely need for other people to think it is. Ah, now we understand why you posted your failed reps.
>>
>>42376938
>>42376945
yeah

anyone who has lifted heavy knows that it's impossible to have 100% form on every rep, and even if you do any sport that involves repetition eventually leads to injuries
the difference is knowing when something is a bad pain and to stop and when something isn't that much of an issue like your knees caving in or your upper backrounding
this is where the experience comes in and these people just don't have any

>>42376956
it's an accomplishment when that's what your goal is, and considering what the breakdown in his form wasn't one that can badly injure you he'll be fine

Nice. The dummies in this thread don't realize that even quarter front squating 400lbs is elite.

I think you should do it in the powercage with safeties next time. Even if you fail you'd still be working out the eccentric portion of the lift in a full ROM and not have to drop it half way down. Just doing the eccentric of 400lbs FS is a good stimulus to prep you for hitting it in the future.

that's not necessarily a form fault; it just suggests that he's quad-dominant. he'll figure out how to address it (glute-ham raises might be one thing to try)

>>42381298
i think you should try and develop some further upper back flexibility (since i'm guessing you're just not able to get your delts 'forward' enough). a front rack position should feel pretty comfy

(full disclosure: can't yet front squat 3pl8, so take the advice with a grain of salt)

for the love of god widen your stance and try to start with the bar actually over your clavicles so the load doesn't shift from your glutes to your lower back as soon as you break out of the hole.

how would a person not into lifting know that 4pl8 stands for 45 lbs plates?
>>
>>42376712
You really need to work on your upper back and lower back more it seems.
You have no trouble getting started out of the hole and finishing, but anything in the middle is really fucking painfull to watch.
Not an expert but you should probably ask an Olympic coach about it.
