Front Rack Mobilty | Quinn Henoch | JTSstrength.com 

Zack Telander your videos are great, but what he suggests is a static stretch

He suggests more of a PNF than static. Details are in the Henoch's cues.

weird bc u turtle all ur cleans

Eshan Dandekar okay, english is Not my First, language i thought that still qualifies as static Stretching

petr l, don’t worry! Most people may have heard/thought the same as it looks like a static stretch and may not know what PNF is.

I feel attacked

did not know this. Thank you!

I used to do zombie front squats myself but hit a limit around 120kg, where the bar could easily roll through my delts, and maintaining proper position cut off my windpipe. Almost fainted from hypoxia the last time I tried it, just as I took a position outside of the supports. I've switched back to lower weights and higher reps, but my goal of getting a normal rack position has become even more important and I rarely do the zombie squats anymore.

At what weight do you find that the delts no longer offer significant resistance to the bar? I am flexed fully on the front delt and if that bar wants to roll, it just rolls. I can hold it at 100 and 110, but at 120, it's like there's nothing there. At 120, I have to maintain correct position. I have actually done 120 before, but only once before. At the time, my back squat 1RM was 185kg. Upper back is definitely my weak spot. My next heavy training cycle starts at end of Feb.

I like this idea that the angle is more relevant than the weight. For me, given the wild disparity between my front squat and back squat (mostly due to upper back weakness), it would make sense that my actual 1RM on front squat is probably closer to 130 or 140, so 85-90% of 1RM sounds like you've hit the nail right on the head there. I'm also much stronger again on deadlift, which strongly suggests that I'm a hips dominant squatter too, which again falls into your suggestions. Indeed, this is one reason why I incorporate the Front Squat into my routine (even though for me, it is the most uncomfortable and difficult movement in the gym) because it directly aids in my specific areas of weakness. Given my experience with rack position front squats (precisely zero reps) and my idealization that attaining a rack position will cure all of these problems and allow me to start front squatting 140kg+, it's telling that you say that even in a rack position, I'm still not going to get it. Great chat! Looking forward to working on these again as I enter the high volume phase of my next training cycle.

I have same issue with front squats, wrist pain.

Great to hear!

Glad it was helpful!

jesus thought those were 25 pounds
