It's uncomfortable, yeah.

Because you're so much better at flat bench and you can put more weight up, so you neglect incline bench press, yet it's so good for developing your chest and getting a strong bench press.

I think the front squat is so good for developing your legs and so good for getting better at your back squat.

But because you're so much weaker at your front squat, you never do it.

You just do back squat.

I feel like it's so similar.

I went on a kick.

I remember this when I, because again, also like everybody neglected the front squat and like I was with the incline bench press.

I'm like, I'm going to try and get my front squat up to my back squat.

And I never passed my max, but I got my front squat over 315, which was a lot for me because I think I started at like 135.

I had to start really low.

And boy, going back to my back squat after I could front squat 315.

I never felt so comfortable with 405 on my back as I did after getting strong on my front squat license.

I still have a vivid memory of the first day of training Bulgarian split squats.

And I remember seeing actually a girl in the gym doing it.

And I know logically the benefits of it.

I'm like, I need to train that.

I never trained that.

And I remember going to do it.

And I remember I couldn't hold on the dumbbells heavier than what she was holding on to.
