thoughts: Squats felt terrible warming up (heavyish). I'm going to re-do my back squat programming strategy again. I remember hearing (keep in mind an Oly lifting context) . . .that the Front Squat and HBBS shouldn't really drift too far apart. I've heard certain lifters say they don't back squat with too much terribly more weight than there max front squat . . .or even their max clean.
If you just go heavy on a High Bar Sqt . . . it just morphs into a LBBS with bar high on traps . . . I think the trick is too find the right load percentage: good HB form while moving the weight fast and explosive.
. . .and this number isn't going to be above 85% of 1RM I'm guessing. My front squat seems OK (not terribly weaker, still progressing back after deload). Maybe those front squats on Sundays are taking more out of me than I give them credit for (Med.day is too heavy). Maybe wednesdays will morph into the Med Day w/ this reset/re-think. Sundays will morph into the Heavy Day . . .pushing the Fsquats up. Whatevs . . .
