Good workout, need to bust into more reps for 225 on squat though. Need to strengthen legs and core more, I think that was my biggest setback with deadlifting.

[thecityalive]

your "core" is probably just as important in a squat or DL than any of the main muscles. I mean, its your major anterior stabilizer...not just some aesthetic piece of work. Front squats are an amazing leg and stomach developer...have you introduced those into your training?

Got back to a morning schedule. It was hard for me to start pullups at 6am. I think itll improve when I get used to it again. Ordered nitrean during this past sale, looking forward to that arriving, havent used any supplements in years.

I havent tried any front squats, i've got a horrible fear that the bar is gonna fall right down my front. At what weight (relative to back squat) do people try to start at?
