Good work Wingman.

Have a great session on Friday. I have occasionally done front squats, but I find them uncomfortable. Not that training should always be "comfortable", but I found that the barbell dug into my shoulders far too hard. I also tried a clean & jerk style grip, which I thought I would be fine with, however, I found that after about 10-15 seconds my wrists were killing me. My wrists are not used to being in that position for an extended period of time. Anything over 175 lbs. was far too awkward. Fortunately, my back squat is very upright and very deep, that is why I found that my lower back was not too fatigued in the plan I followed May through July.

I think your idea of incorporating them is wise, as I said, I just hope you get on better with them than I. So far all seems well, you like the lift and 60 kg. is a promising start!
