“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”- Philippians 1:21
Front squatting is brutally hard. Moving the barbell placement from the spine of the scapula as in the back squat, to the front rack position and away from the athlete’s center of gravity effectively generates an additive crushing rotational force to an already demanding hip and leg extension movement. Moving loads further and further away from the spine forces the athlete to resist trunk flexion while simultaneously maintaining a rigid spine-pelvis relationship. Herein lies the beauty of this greatly hated squat variation.

How hungry are you?
This diagram covers your hunger four hours after you have eaten a meal. There are some great cues to follow depending upon how you are feeling. The Zone is not an exact science and should be adjusted to fit each individual. To recap the above:
Extent of Hunger 4 hours after Meal-
1. None= correct ratio of protein, carb and fat- keep doing what your doing!
2. Poor Mental Focus= Too much carb relative to protein- decrease carbs at next meal.
3. Hungry with Good Mental Focus= Too much protein in relation to carbs- increase carbs at next meal.
