I’ve finally added in partial squats this past week in the form of partial front squats. 3 times total in the last 4 or 5 days, and wouldn’t you know my front squat is set to PR, and it’s stability is far better than it was even last week. My power clean moved up overnight as well, and again it must be those front squat partials, they add horsepower overnight to your body.
My abs are getting closer and closer. Partials are easy to make progress in (be it weight,reps,or distance), and it’s not far off where the combination of my now warp speed metabolism and the thickening of the abs via partials will lead to visible strongman abs.
Partial squats are great, yet even 5 minutes of effort will show you that partial front squats are even better. Slightly more pros and far less cons.
Here’s my advise:
Go to the gym and take over a squat rack (take that bitch over, complete with flag claiming it,armed border guards,pee on it to mark it,etc). Set the pins in this rack somewhat high (go no lower than half squat), and proceed to do partial squats. Reap the rewards. Trust me your body will thank you, quite quickly in fact.
