Record-keeping

This blog is mainly for my purposes of tracking my workouts for easy reference later.

Tonight I did 5 rounds of 3 reps each of a front squat.

My weights were 45, 50, 55, 65, and 75.

Not a heavy weight by any means, but the form of this exercise was new to me so I was focusing mainly on proper arm position and posture.

A front squat is when you hold the bar in front of your body... you know, this is too hard to try and explain with words... let's see if I can find a photo.

Here's how you hold it- notice it "rests" on your upper arm.

And here's what you look like when you squat down- notice you keep your elbows up and abs engaged the entire time:



You can imagine that physically holding the bar up is harder than the actual squat move, which is why I didn't try to do a ton of weight.

Next time, I'll try to bump it up a bit.
