Testing the front
It’s been quite a while – time to test our 1 rep max for our front squat. We’ll be putting to use all the practice we’ve done with this and similar lifts to take this to failure. The failure part is very important. For this to be as potent a stimulus as it can be, we’ll need to give ourselves ample warm up sets of 5’s, 3’s and 2’s and set ourselves up for 2-3 attempts at a 1rm with the goal of taking it to the point where we need to bail. We only truly know our limits when we find that line, and today it’s time to find it. Like so many other things in life and in the gym, where that line lies is more in our head than in our bodies.
