The squat is the most important lift in the toolbox for anyone looking to build stronger and bigger legs. If you squat with a barbell, you basically have two options: putting the barbell on your upper back, or putting it on your front deltoids, i.e. in front of your throat. So how does the front squat and back squat differ in terms of muscle growth and strength gain? In episode 4 of The Strength Log, we break down a brand new study comparing these two versions of the squat, to give you our recommendations on which you should choose.  *** Want to learn more about the study?

Is the high-bar squat more effective than the front squat for targeting your quads? Or does the front squat beat the high-bar back squat? What does research say about these variations of the squat and how they affect muscle activation? I've written and recorded a lot of evidence-based content over the years on just about everything you can imagine related to building muscle, losing fat, and getting healthy. I've also worked with thousands of men and women of all ages and circumstances and helped them get into the best shape of their lives. That doesn't mean you should blindly swallow everything I say, though, because let's face it—nobody is always right about everything. And especially in fields like diet and exercise, which are constantly evolving thanks to the efforts of honest and hardworking researchers and thought leaders. This is why I'm always happy to hear from people who disagree with me, especially when they have good arguments and evidence to back up their assertions. Sometimes I can't get on board with their positions, but sometimes I end up learning something, and either way, I always appreciate the discussion. That gave me the idea for this series of podcast episodes: publicly addressing things people disagree with me on and sharing my perspective. Think of it like a spicier version of a Q&A. So, here's what I'm doing: Every couple of weeks, I'm asking my Instagram followers what they disagree with me on, and then picking the more common or interesting contentions to address here on the podcast. And in this episode, I'll be tackling the following . . . “The high-bar back squat is better for targeting the quads than the front squat.” --- Timestamps: 0:00 - Which of my books is right for you?

If you thought the Bench Press was the only exercise designed by the Devil, you are wrong! In fact Satan first came up with the back squat! True story! To hear how the back squat caused countless back injuries, wars and genocide you need to listen to this episode. Or just front squat and pretend you never saw or ever heard of a back squat. If anyone asks, just tell them you are Vegan and they will stop talking to you immediately. Why am I so passionate about this subject? Because I care about you and your athletes. And….I am educated. So chalk up your mitts, kick a pooping poodle and get ready for some squatting fun. Wanna see the Coach in Toronto Canada? Come out to the RCCSSC Conference Nov 9/10.

Coming up on October 26th I’ve committed to doing a Spartan ULTRA Race. It’s a 30 mile ace with 60 obstacles. Making this commitment was scary AF, but I’m ready for the challenge this is going to bring me. I’ll be changing up my training to prep for the race, but I won’t be doing it as most guys would. I won’t be doing hours of cardio or tons of long runs. Instead, I’ll be keeping my focus dialed in on STRENGTH and POWER with a solid addition of aerobic-based capacity work. To make things interesting, the week before the race, I’ll be having the Forged FATHER SUMMIT at my gym which will be a two-day event for the dads inside my VIP coaching group. We’ll be spending two full days together masterminding on all things kicking ass in life… On Saturday we’ll be doing a 4-event throwdown to test our fitness via raw strength, power, endurance, and mental toughness. My goal for the raw strength portion is the following… 550 Deadlift 275 Push Press 445 Back Squat (we’ll be testing the Front Squat, but I’ve made it a goal to hit 445 Back Squat) So, this means I not only need to be ready for this 30 mile race, but I’ve gotta be STRONG as well. I’ve already started to ramp things up, but I officially start “Forged SPARTAN” on Monday, Aug 18th. This is going to be TOUGH, but I’m excited as hell. But WHY?? The answer to that lies within the PRESSURE and LEVERAGE that will be created by setting the bar HIGH for myself. If your goals don't scare the hell outta you, you'll never be forced to grow and expand beyond the norm. I HATE the norm and I REFUSE to BE AVERAGE. Time to get after it and see what I'm capable of... === Forged FATHER Resources === Join Travis’ High Level Private Coaching Group, “The Forged FATHER Project” - For DRIVEN DAD’s ONLY...

In business, the best storyteller wins.One of the first things every entrepreneur does in the Incubator is to map their clients' journey. That foundation helps us plan for better intake and retention. The client is the hero of their story; their coaches are the guides. The Level Method is based in science and math, but it's powerful because it tells a story. As your client moves from Yellow to Red in the Front Squat, they know they've achieved something. Take the best elements of gaming, badging, and martial arts grading, and you have The Level Method.At Two-Brain, we advocate services and products that can measurably improve your gym. We're not interested in dumping more ideas on you; we want to share things that WORK.The immediate benefit that most gym owners see from adding Level Method is an increase in 1:1 training revenue. But long-term, we're tracking LEG and adherence too, because we know that a sticky story draws people back to the campfire.We've been sharing Nate's story since the start, and we're big believers. In 2016 Nathan developed what has become known as the Level Method. This is a completely unique, data-driven system that offers clients unparalleled insight into their fitness and progression. After implementing this tool at his own gym, Nathan has shared this powerful tool with many other gyms now providing unimaginably results for their members.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-345 – Wilson Horrell – Lift Heavy Run Long  (Audio: link)       Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-345 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  We’ve got a full agenda for today – so I won’t babble on too much.  I’ve got an interview for you with Wilson Horrell from lift heavy-run-long who has a fascinating and educational back story. I had done an interview with Josh LaJunie who is an ultra running vegan from New Orleans – but I messed up the recording and I figured we just had a vegan last episode.  The eat vegan on $4 a day got a lot of feedback.  Some folks were very enthusiastic about Ellen’s message, some were less enthusiastic and wanted me to balance that out with some fat-adaptive athletes.  Which I will at some point. My personal opinion is that nutrition is quite specific to the individual and you need to find what works for you.  That process may involve some coaching but keep an open mind.  As athletes we have the added wrinkle of our performance to think about. I’m also going to treat you to my Eagle Creek Marathon race report, but true to form it came out so long that’s all I’m going to be able to fit into this episode.  So I’ll put the interview up front and the race report on the back and we’ll call it a day! Since I’m pretty sure I’m going to run long I’ll cut my comments short. … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.  We do this by offering a membership option where members get Access To Exclusive Members Only audio Member only race reports, essays and other bits just for you!

Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … Just a quick sentiment … On Plateaus… One of the interesting asides in the book I read last week about memory was a short bit on what to do when you practice something but hit a plateau.  I think we all know this works.  Initially when you learn a new discipline, whether an exercise routine or really, anything new it your learning follows the same basic arc. Initially it’s hard and you learn slowly.  Then you hit a stretch of rapid improvement. Eventually you plateau.  And then you’re stuck.  You push harder, you practice more hours, but you’re stuck. The example they use is typing.  Most typists get to a certain point and don’t get any faster.  They get to the ‘good enough’ plateau. How do you get unstuck?  How do you get through the plateau? Science shows 3 things that you can do, or at least try.  Mindset, discomfort and approach. .” The first one is mindset.  When you reach that ‘good-enough’ plateau you self-talk yourself into being as good as you’re going to get.  Your mind says, “Well, since I’m not getting better anymore I must be at the top end of my ability.”  Like everything else once we let our minds tell that story, we internalize it and it manifests. Like your parents and coaches always told you “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right!”  You have to fix your mindset.  The people who break through performance plateaus essentially don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. I’ll give you an example from my book on how to qualify for the Boston marathon.  When I talk to runners about running a qualifying time they will invariably say “I could never do that!”  I always ask a dumb question – “Why not?”  If you reframe your mindset then the question becomes “How do I?” instead of “I can’t” – sometimes it’s as simple as making that mental switch. The next that has proved to be effective in breaking through plateaus is to force yourself you’re your discomfort zone.  In the typing example this would mean forcing yourself to type at a faster rate even though you are making more mistakes.  Even if you fail a lot – you assume the higher level of performance and hang in there until the plateau is broken. The key here is you have to really push to spend time in a place where you will most certainly fail consistently at first.  Embracing the failure is part of the key to breaking the plateau.  Starting at a higher level of performance and sticking with it until you catch up is the other part.  Both are very uncomfortable. The marathon qualification example is to start with the training paces you need to run to qualify.  Even though at first you won’t be able to maintain them.  It will hurt and you will fail.  If you stick with it you can find a new level of performance. Getting yourself to perform above the comfort zone (plateau) works hand in hand with the mindset of believing you can do it. Lastly, when you think you can do it, and you force yourself out of your comfort zone into the failure zone you will be forced to find new approaches.  In a sense you can’t operate at that level and it forces you to abandon your existing approach and try approaches that support that higher level of performance. You will find the consistent areas where you are making mistakes – the failure points.  Just like lowering the water level reveals the rocks, upping your forced performance reveals your weaknesses.  Then you can devise focused practice to fix these failure points and enable the new level.  It’s a virtuous cycle. When you get to the point of re-evaluating your approach a coach or an expert can be a big plus. They have seen those mistake patterns before and can help you fix them faster. In the typing example, maybe you find that when you speed up you consistently miss the ‘b’ key or the semi-colon.  You can devise exercises that focus on those.  Or maybe switch to a Dvorak keyboard layout to totally change the approach. In the qualification example forcing yourself to run those faster-than-comfortable 1600 repeats will reveal flaws in your form and mechanics.  A coach might quickly help you fix it.  Either way you’ll quickly realize you can’t run on your heels and hold those paces. There you go – simple way to break through a plateau.  Give it a try. On with the show. Section one –   Voices of reason – the conversation Wilson “BeefCake” Horrell Hey Chris, My name is Wilson Horrell, sometimes referred to as “Beefcake”, and I am a 39 year old, married, father of 2 children (ages 10 & 7). I am a raging drug addict and alcoholic, who after years of living and unhealthy life and blowing through a $2 million dollar windfall, found running, CrossFit, and people to be my new addiction, as I sobered up and began the process of picking up the pieces.    I started running 5k’s as an effort to stop smoking and lose some weight. I found a community of trail runners who welcomed, not only me as a person, but were also open to my slow pace. My love of the trail came about immediately, as I enjoyed the lack of pounding that the soft dirt placed on my over-sized body. I heard about Lift Heavy Run Long’s 50mile &400 Deadlift club. I set my sights on this, and ran various distances until this goal was achieved. Since I started on my fitness journey in 2013, I have participated in numerous CrossFit events, some obstacle races, a couple of marathons, a handful of 50k’s, and a 50-miler last November. I am registered for the Tour D’ Spirit 24-Hour Race in Memphis, TN on Sept 30-Oct. 1 I am an incredibly average runner, as well as average athlete. I enjoy the endurance sports, as I like spending long periods of time in introspection. I like the slower paced events, and enjoy listening to the internal struggle that exists between the body and the brain.   I do not take for granted the role that people in the running community, combined with the CrossFit community, played in saving my life, and providing me with happiness. I became a partner in Lift Heavy Run Long, LLC last December because I wanted a challenge and purpose. Our goal is to build as large and strong of a community as possible for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. We want to encourage the people in the fitness community, but also welcome the people who are struggling to make the decision to change their life through fitness. I know first-hand, how scary and intimidating it can be to sign up for that first race, or first fitness class. We want to help people who are struggling to take that first step.   I love positivity, and I love being inspired. I have found that running and lifting provides a multitude of opportunities to connect with other people and be of service.    I have a blog, which started as fitness journal, but has since turned into an almost daily rambling of all of the craziness that goes through my oddly designed brain. Von and I also started a podcast, where we are trying to find some of the world’s most inspirational people, who are leading lives of fulfillment through following their bliss. Back Squat 325lbs Push Press 250lbs Front Squat 240lbs Deadlift 415lbs Fastest 5k 26:20 Fastest 10k 54:36 Sylamore 50K 2015. Finished Dead Last, but was robbed of this title because they grouped the final three of us in alphabetical order 10:22 Stanky Creek 50K 2015 7:30 Tunnel Hill 50miler 14:52 Didn’t finish dead last, but with enough perseverance, I can get there. Section two Eagle Creek Trail Marathon - Outro Well my friends you pulled the one arm bandit’s handle, hit the progressive jackpot, won the car and wheelbarrows full of shiny golden coins that are at the end of Episode 4-345 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  (Really had to work that one didn’t I?) I’ll keep this quick.  I’ve got a lot of projects going on in parallel this month. Next up is the Wapack Trail race on September 4th.  I expect some of you to come up and run this with me.  Or just come up and volunteer.  It’s an out-and-back course so you can do as much or as little as you like. Then in September I’ll be doing that Spartan race and if all goes well I’ll be interviewing Joe the owner for the next episode. Then I’ll be gunning for the Portland Marathon in October with coach – which actually has some significance because I am aging up another 10 minutes for my Boston Qualification time for 2018. Then of course we have to decide if we’re going to do the Groton Marathon at Christmas again.  This would be our fourth outing and I was thinking about opening it up to the 50-staters and the Marathon Maniacs. In the meantime I’m working on my next book and speaking project. And, oh yeah, working full time, traveling and now that my kids are out of college, seeing if we can fix up the house, consolidate our finances and, what the heck, work on my marriage. In order to support this swarm of ill-conceived projects I’m going to have to get healthy and find some creative time.  So I’ve kicked off a project in August to get healthy.  This includes cleaning up my nutrition, no more alcohol and getting up a 5:00AM every day.  I’m two days into it. I’m going to make a short video every day when I get up to document it and I’ll see if I can get those up on my YouTube Channel ‘cyktrussell’and on the RunRunLive website.  I can’t imagine why anyone would want to see my burry-eyed, discombobulated 5AM apparition, but I’m doing it for accountability. … When I was hanging out with my sister Lou this weekend she was telling me about a crime data study she had seen.  Basically all the crime data for cities is publically available so institutions have taken to turning the methods of big data loose on it to see if they can learn anything. It seems one of the things they found, not unexpectedly, was that certain areas of the cities were hot zones for crime.  But they also saw something that they couldn’t explain.  Within these hot spots were small bubbles that were crime free.  There were oases of peace in the worst parts of the city. When they looked to see why and what caused these bubbles they consistently found that it was due to one person in that neighborhood.  That person ran a gym or a business and kept the kids off the street.  That single person created a clearing for peace to manifest. One person made that happen. One person made a difference in their neighborhood. One person created a bubble of love in the rip tide of hate. You can be that person. Be the person your dog thinks you are and I’ll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Megan grew up physically active, playing on numerous sports teams, particularly soccer and rugby throughout high school and university. During her undergraduate studies, health and fitness developed into a much more integral part of Megan’s lifestyle, becoming involved in Powerlifting. Since 2007, she has gone on to win multiple National titles in the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU), and has competed at the International level. From there, her love of strength and conditioning has influenced Megan’s career path into academics, where she received her Masters of Science in Physical Education and Recreation from the University of Alberta, specializing in squat biomechanics. Megan is currently continuing her studies as a Doctoral candidate in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa, and works with the Bruyere Research Institute at the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital. Her current research thesis is now directed towards geriatric rehabilitation for maintaining functional independence and fall prevention in older adults through improved muscle function. Always finding new ways to challenge herself both physically and mentally, Megan has also most recently has stepped into the competitive figure stream. Megan has been a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (C.S.C.S.) since 2011, having previously worked with varsity level athletes. She applies both her powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting techniques into developing training programs for improved strength, explosiveness for sport performance. Megan also focuses on proper execution of movement techniques, addressing neuromusculoskeletal issues that may cause pain or discomfort during exercise. In this podcast, Megan and I discussed Front squats vs Back squats Some of the topics we discuss are: 1.Based on your structure, is there anything that may decide if you are better built to front squat compared to back squat? 2.If you are a powerlifter, can strength in the front squat convert to strength in the back squats and vice versa? 3. Is there a difference in muscle activation between the two lifts? 4.For someone who has hypertrophy goals for the quads, would front squats be a better exercise to select? 5.What are typical mistakes that people do in the front squats and what are things one should focus on? Low wrist mobility is often a complain that many people have for example. 6. When it comes to squat depth, you often hear people not using a full range of motion and don’t go to parallel because it keeps the “tension” on the muscle. What does the research show when it comes to using a full range of motion to maximize hypertrophy and strength?

Dr. Danny and Coach Joe Discuss Evaluating, Improving, and the Importance of a Quality Front Rack On Episode 33 of the Doc and Jock Podcast Discusses Front Rack Fixes The Front Rack is a position often utilized in CrossFit and is definitely required if you have Weightlifting ambitions. Bottom line is that if you are into barbell training the front rack is a fundamental shape, that when achieved, can be a building block to establish many quality barbell movements, including the Front Squat, Cleans, Presses, Push Presses and Jerks. Before the boys discuss fixing your front rack they talk about the recent flooding in Columbia SC where Coach Joe lives. The front rack discussion first begins with why and how folks experience poor positioning with this shape and why limited positioning with this shape can negatively affect your performance.  In particular we see limitation in the ability of an athlete to get into an optimal front rack because of over development of upper body musculature, limited external rotation and flexion in the shoulder. According to Dr. Danny the two areas of focus should be the shoulder and the thoracic spine. If your T Spine is so lacking in ROM and a safe front rack cannot be achieved athletes should look to the goblet squat.  To break up areas of restriction in the T-Spine it’s also a good idea to promote extension by laying on a lax ball and getting some downward pressure.  Joe also brings up Donnie Thompson’s tempering to strengthen the back and a way to gain neutrality in the spine.  Dr. Danny counters with a discussion about paying attention to the rib cage and diaphragm. The conversation then moves to the shoulder.  In order to have a quality front rack your shoulder needs to do two things, flex (bring your arm straight up and in front of you) and externally rotate (turning your palm up). If your shoulders have both of these qualities you can not only take a wider grip with the bar, but when you receive the bar in the clean you will be able to take the load throughout the shoulder and chest, not hold the bar in your hands. The boys continue their discussion about grip width and why taking a wider grip is more optimal but why you may want hold off to save your elbows. Danny and Joe then provide insight on how to achieve more external rotation pre workout. Danny believes the best mobility drills look like the exercise you are trying to achieve.  Joe then discusses using PNF as a means to gain positioning pre workout. The guys tie the conversation up with a discussion about why being able to do maintenance on yourself is so important.  It’s cheaper, quicker, and you end up learning more about yourself through the struggle. Joe then enters into a conversation about why he coaches his novice athletes to work their front racks with an open palm.  In Joe’s mind the benefit is forcing the athlete to utilize their legs to move the bar overhead, not the hands.

Dr. Danny and Coach Joe Discuss Evaluating, Improving, and the Importance of a Quality Front Rack On Episode 33 of the Doc and Jock Podcast Discusses Front Rack Fixes The Front Rack is a position often utilized in CrossFit and is definitely required if you have Weightlifting ambitions. Bottom line is that if you are into barbell training the front rack is a fundamental shape, that when achieved, can be a building block to establish many quality barbell movements, including the Front Squat, Cleans, Presses, Push Presses and Jerks. Before the boys discuss fixing your front rack they talk about the recent flooding in Columbia SC where Coach Joe lives.

URL: http://adventureblog.nationalgeographic.com/2015/07/09/ultrarunner-scott-jurek-will-not-break-the-appalachian-trail-speed-record-alone/   Health & Food: The topic of compulsive eating came up on the Vinnie Tortorich No Sugar No Grains closed group on Facebook. It got me thinking about emotional eating.  I’ve found myself time to time eating at odd times, usually late in the evening. Something on not the most optimal of foods. On my journey, I’ve learned to be kinder to myself and less strict. It’s much easier to be self-forgiving and relaxed after about three years on the NSNG (no sugar no grains) lifestyle and seeing my health improve and body composition change and improve slowly and steadily. Allow me to repeat. Now it’s been three years and I’ve slowly and steadily improved health and body composition at over 40 years of age. So committing to a lifestyle and not a diet is what it is all about for me. Back to emotional eating. There are time when I eat a crap ton of food. I guess I get really hungry. However it does cross my mind as I stuff my face, whether or not I am emotionally eating or have a problem. They way I see it is…No. Now if I stuff my face this way regularly yes. It did get me wondering about the topic of emotional eating though. It also made me wonder if humans are the only animals that have this condition? If it has always been something humans dealt with? Or just in recent history? Article: Is defeat sweeter than victory? Researchers reveal the science behind emotional eating. URL: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150709093313.htm Fitness: As I attempt to periodize my training somewhat. I’m looking to build strength first. Most my time will be experimenting with the Front Squat where I work on it once or twice a week for several weeks. I’m new to it so I’m learning as much as I can to do it properly and safely.
