That is immense!upped my 1 rep max on front squat to 130kg before doing a metcon where part of a workout included 30 reps back squat at 100KG. (3 sets of 10, 30 sec rest between sets) between 30 handstand pushups and 30 dips, legs were a bit tight for a couple of days.
Very nice workout with solid numbers!
Very impressive. What's your usual back squat weights on 5-8 reps? I tried doing front squats few times but it feels too awkward and uncomfortable with cross arm grip.
back squat 1 rep is 150kg, about to do a back squat program in a week or 2 so hope up that a bit, I have done 10 reps at 125kg, and 100 reps at 60kg as part of a workout, where everytime you racked the bar you had to do 5 pull ups, 10 push-ups and 15 air squats! x2! i hoped to do two sets of 50 but that plan went out the window, and did 40/20/20/20.
80kg@20 reps time:02:15m heart rate: 115
Maybe I'm getting used to these 20 reps or it could be a good rest, sleep & food but it was much easier than some previous sessions. Warmed up with front squats (60kg) which still feels uncomfortable. Other usual bits of OHP, incline DB press, flat BP and = bar dips with 12kg.
Pull day today.
Chin/Pull ups are one of my goal and these days I can do good 5 reps. This is a good progress for me as when first started I couldn't even do one. Problem is I'm now stuck on the same rep range for last 3/4 months. Anyway I've found a way to use strap on bar (bars too high on wall & super slippery) and dumbbell. Started doing weighted pull ups with 5kg x 5 reps. Hopefully there'll be improvements in coming months.
Note: ~20kg over BMI. Not easy for short fat man

is that 115bpm after doing 20 reps with 80kg, that don't sound right...what hrm are you using?
@beecee I love a bit of crossfit, came across it in 2008 immediately got hooked gave up smoking weed after 20yrs, stopped drinking the lot. Totally transformed me bought my own bumpers & kettlebell as well, store them in the local gym
phone and app . I know they're not accurate and will not take those readings seriously but at least I got few numbers to compare. I constantly get ~120 when doing 20-30 mins cardio 7km/hr. on treadmill. Not planning for any serious number analysis and it's just the 'playing with app' thing . Curious now why's 115 not right?
