You squat 315 like its baby weight. Very strong my friend.

You know, I was thinking about this the other day. I haven't done back squats in over 2-3 months. The last time I did them was when I was on Cressey's program. BUT, I have been working hard on my front squats consistently so I think that is keeping my body remembering my motor patterns.

I also believe that because I have been focusing on OH Squats and Good Mornings they are paying high dividends. I think my next big step is to strengthen my core. I need core to be strong to handle this sort of weight. I just bought an ab-roller from Amazon for $16 which will come in next week sometime. I am looking forward to dedicating some time to strengthening my core.

Thanks for dropping by, bro. :)

Like I-dub said, you're looking strong. My mom, who is so arthritic that she can barely bend over or open a loose jar lid, bought an ab roller a couple of months ago. No way she will ever be able to use it, so I'm going to take hers. That's very cool that you haven't been doing back squats, but the carryover from your other lifts is so good. I'm sure front squats have been beneficial for your core. I feel the same way about strengthening my core. Good stuff...I like reading your journal. It keeps me on track with my own training.

Thanks for the kind words, Ross.

My goal with the Ab Wheel is going to be to do one rep standing. This is what I mean:


Read his info by the side. I want to be able to do this perfectly.
