If they didn't use a block the weight would be a lot more than just forward...it would be on the floor. The block is used to compensate for ankle inflexibility Adrian, otherwise the bar would most definitely kiss the platform...more so because of the way they're holding it as opposed to the weightlifting way, which would allow for much more stability, support, and more mechanical advantage from stabiliser as well as secondary muscles should their involvement be called upon/increased due to some loss of form.Dunno about using a block for front squats though. Weight is already forward. Anyhow nice and deep.
Paul was probably in contest shape. Lou was off season.
Saw this posted on social media. Not sure what division competitor 107 is entering.
Wonder if he is a natty.. [emoji16]
