Front Squat Progress

I'm a month in with the Front Squats now and while progress is slow, gradual improvement continues.

The weights used have gone up nicely and I'm now doing an average of seven working sets after warmups.

Front Squats are still followed by Leg Press and Stiff Legged Deadlifts have been reincorporated, followed by a couple of sets of leg curls.

This workout is the hardest to make myself do every time it rolls around. Rationalization, bargaining with myself, playing "Let's Make a Deal" with myself, you name it, I've tried it to convince myself that THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY BE DONE TODAY!

I always load up that first set though, step under the bar and begin to squat. Later, once it's all done, the endorphin rush that courses through my pathetic, quivering body is beyond description. It's truly a drug and the next time this workout comes due, remembering that feeling is just enough to make me do it one more time.
