While more functional than its cousins the back and overhead squat, the front squat is a difficult lift for many people. Bad rack. Soft core. Quad dominant movement. All recipes for disaster. However, when things are dialed in and locked on the front squat not only looks great, but serious weight gets moving too.

Good front squats guys. We talked about a few things we really needed to see taking place, and everyone hit them, really well. The front squat can expose serious flexibility issues, so continued work on the shoulder girdle and arms. Bit by bit, with consistency over time, is the key with mobility and flexibility. Added both equals better racks, much better overhead positions, better rock bottoms, you name it and it'll probably be improved also.
So a few of the CFSF crew have signed up for the Barbarian Challenge in Gadsden's Noccolula Falls Park. The race is Saturday, June 25. We are in the 10:00 am horde. It's not too late to sign up so if you feel barbaric, join us. Gonna be a seriously great time. http://www.barbarianchallenge.com/ YOU MUST BRING YOUR ID/DRIVERS LICENSE!
Motivation, as defined, is the act or instance of motivating. Motivating is to provide with motives, or impel. At CFSF we value motivation, and people that are motivating. Joey is that guy for us. Thanks Joey. Great fuel, great motivation. Motivation is also contagious, catch it and spread it around.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
