Nah he's a regular, he wasn't struggling with the weight really. The punch line is if you fail you can just notch the bar....tough crowd wow..... 
Are you guys hitting the same weight on front squats as back squats? I just started front squatting this week and it my weight is a little lower than back, figure it's normal until I do it more frequently.

Beast. Ive always enjoyed watching his vids, seems like a humble guy.
Cant endorse benching on the smith machine unless its your only option, and then I would try to change gyms.

Rich Froning is the perfect crossfit specimen. There's plenty of people who are stronger or with more endurance but he has the best combination of both.

My personal opinion and not trying to start a flame war, Froning's aesthetics > a Mr. Olympia. More desirable, balanced, and practical but those are my goals.
Props to all crossfitters, bodybuilders, power lifters, P90x'ers, etc. just get up and be active.

I would say very few of the population of lifters/fitness guys want to look like Mr. O. Plus even with the best drugs most people couldn't get there.

Froning is only special under the surface. Looks wise he's average. With a shirt on..does he even lift?

Dude is just a beast. He doesn't train for aesthetics but yet looks better than your average bodybuilder

Nahh, cant get down with a spotter and the smith machine. Theres zero reason to have one. If the weight is too heavy to rotate your wrists forward, thats not a too much weight issue.
Theres been a lot of subjective talk about how people look in this thread recently. Cant get down with that either.

he looks regular as hell in that shirt and it's probably a medium. like i said, looks wise, dude is nothing special, functional/athleticism wise, dude is extremely blessed.
maybe its just because I'm always in the gym myself, carving and sculpting that different things impress me.

Hit 255 on the flat bench. My new PR. Did it for 3 reps. I'm sure I can do 265. Will try it in few weeks.
