Good lifting progress today - double sets of #OverheadPress and #FrontSquat (do not like, do not want), and managed to get to 5 of each at 30kg in a single set. #Pleased
#FrontSquat is NOT a favourite lift of mine. I could happily go a LONG time before doing those again. Still, I think it went OK.

OK, so today my trainer wanted to work on my form, specifically the cues to stay fully upright during the squat movement so we did some #FrontSquat

3x8 @ 30kg.

Then 3x5 #BackSquat @ 60kg.

Talking about 💬 Dumbbell Front Rack Squats

1️⃣ Rest the dumbbells on the front of your shoulders with your elbows pointing forward and slightly up.

2️⃣ Hold the dumbbells lightly to avoid unnecessary wrist strain.

3️⃣ Keep your elbows elevated to prevent the dumbbells from pulling your torso forward.

4️⃣ Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to protect your lower back.
