My strength out of the hole on front squats SUCKS id go down hit parallel and attempt to go back up and end up stalling for about 3 seconds go up about an inch or two extremely slow then blast up like nothing was on my back
Tweaked my back on the 7th rep of romanian deadlifts. My lower back was straight so I am not sure why.
