Front Squat - 8 x 1 (heavy single) - When heavy single is listed your looking to hit the heaviest 1 rep possible without pushing to failure. This is not a max, however in order to get stronger you must lift heavy ass weights.
Okay... so this fellow is a world champion at 69kg... he is squatting 440lbs here, nevermind the weight but keep an eye on three things here. 1. High elbows and relaxed grip while standing and at the bottom of the squat. 2. Hips unhinge and move back but torso stays vertical as he goes into squat. 3. His heels stay planted throughout the rep. Sit back and drive through the heels!
