Question- front squatting, do you stand on a block or anything of the sort? I like to put 5lb plates under my feet. Helps me get deeper. Also allows me to make sure my feet are aligned properly. Thoughts? I hit 315x6 for the first time, very happy. Ditched back squats, I will never do them again.

Yeah some people may need something under the feet...although I think that's not a good thing...if you couldn't do without it...fine...but let's try to use a little bit wider leg stance and maybe keep your toes out a little bit more too. Maybe it will be better and you will able to squat without the plate under your feet. Try it.

Front Squats are the way to go reduces lower back involvement.

How's that ford running man? It's got to make it to Tampa.

Serious how do you feel on your condition so far you got great symmetry and full muscle bellies but the condition has been a bit off in your last couple shows are you doing anything different this time?

Well I have two issues. #1 I train alone so guesstimating if my feet are centered and even is tough, #2 I like to keep my feet facing front so that I target my outer quads. They lag badly behind my medialis. Thoughts?

Last year I was so sick...so my condition was the worst ever...  >:(

Hopefully this year everything will be OK and now I'm working with an advisor so so many things are different than last year.

Yes, but you have to be smart to make money from bodybuilding...and I had to start a whole new life from the bottom here in the States to make more money than before...

Anyway a few guys get a good sponsor contract even before they achieve anything serious...but I wasn't that lucky.

looking great

I see you've either brought down the quads, or brought up upper body, looking more balanced.
