Front squats vs Back squats

[voodoochild113]

I've been front squatting a lot lately and really like them. Which does the teen misc prefer and why? Also, why the **** is my front squat only about 30lbs less than my back squat?

[Daffle]

i dont do either
just cell tech squats

[Cstreck]

I mainly stick to back squats just because i have such a hard time not dumping the bar when i front squat but if your focusing more on quad strength fronts squats are awesome.

[hammersforteeth]

i don't like front squatting. tried it once tho.

[Uberwaffle]

They're both necessary for me... Though I think I may like zercher squat>front squat. I've only done those once.
My only logical response is that you cut your front squats high. My back squat is 300+, but I doubt I could get even 225 front.

i like back squats

i feel it in my quads more than i do in front squats and front squats for me are just acward

[RalphPlsGoNo]

I haven't tried front squats but I'm thinking about it, I squat 3x per week so would it be alright to swap each exercise each time? Like front, back, front, back etc?

[LankedOut]

Low bar squats son.

[Super Naut]

i always do heavy back squats and higher rep front squats afterward.

front squats are better for quad development IMO (especially if you squat PL style).

also front sqauts help your deadlift off the floor.

i would do both front and backs.

i currently squat once a week and front squat another day (on my DL day).

OP, i just started front squats about a month & half ago. there quickly catching up to my DL. your ratio isnt extremely weird.

So you're syaing you should be able to front squat more than back squat?

explain....back squats work yur lower back harder than front squats...so therefore back squats would be better for that..

the weight is out in front of you like a deadlift. core will be worked for with front squats as well since the natural tendency is for the bar to come forward, you have to fight it more. also on a back squat, you are able to sit back more with less knee travel, on a deadlift you have to be in a position where you are still able to grab the bar without being too bent over, a front squat simulates the bottom portion more.

psh thats nothing. i squat 8 days a week. bitch

[SteezyChr]

i do both, sometimes same day, sometimes i switch it up week to week. I like front squats more fun, i like to put chains on them too.

[Davidthefat]

I like both, but I lack shoulders so the bar pretty much chokes me on front squats...

[Gt3x24x7]

I hate front squats. My shoulders can't bear the weight and I ****ing feel like choking when I hold the bar. Hard to balance too.

[GSparky]

They're both great. Fronts are more of a challenge though and I feel it more in my quads.

[Ka0s]

I hate front squats, never do em

[steve_nash]

after getting huge ass syndrome from back squats, i'm slowly switching to front.

[jason92]

Huge ass isnt bad

[whitesox3223]

kthxbi

[steve_nash]

Huge ass isnt bad

yeah, except the part where you look retarded and your ass pops out and it's not proportional to anything
