[Hamzzza]

sorry for potato cam, bad angle(but i think you can clearly see that it's below parallel)



progressing fairly well, constantly adding 5 lbs every week...if you have any questions feel free to ask


btw front squats = best for legs - 2 pairs of jeans ripped in the past month, never happened before

[Hockey16z]

[kalebd21]

Impressive OP. Making it look easy.

[tzamn]

[bfmv69]

Strong bro.

[josh120]

Gjdm, mirin squats. I like front squats a lot now that I've started doing them regularly. Also lol'd at the guy in the background doing shoulder presses

[ParkRanger]

I like going a lot deeper with Front Squats, but that's just personal preference. And probably just carry over from doing cleans.

Strong as fcuk OP

[ButteredWaffles]

The sets after the first 1 one looked alot better regarding form imo. You almost took a nasty fall at :40.

im on layne nortons PHAT atm

1 power day, 1 hyper trophy day - i only do light speed front squats on my hyper day though

the second set was only 155 so yeah it was a lot easier to maintain nice form

[ericd8]

i prefer them because they are IMO the best exercise for quad development, far superior to back squats

Gjdm, u muslim brah?

yes

[ArianSani]

damn, I just started adding these.
With heavier weights, I'm unstable going down.
Mirin' strength OP

BTW, do you lift during Ramadan?
Also, do you think front squatting twice a week + deadlifting thrice a week + calves once a week is optimal for overall leg development?

gjdm, stay sick op

yes i do, havent lifted the last 9-10 days this year though

i dont deadlift, but working legs twice a week seems optimal for me if you put up some nice volume...if you do really low volume(like only squats) then 3 times a week is also okay

never deadlifted 3 times a week, im not too sure about that - i stopped DLing a while ago too


you can work calves much more often, they recover very fast and respond good to high frequency/high reps

[Aggrotech]

I did ATG front squats. could this be the reason why I strained my back muscles (it lasted only 1 week or so)

possible, but i never injured myself doing squats so i dont really know

i did injure myself more often doing deadlifts, maybe that's your problem too

[Xuaxace]

How big are you legs?

How much posterior chain work do you do?

Way to go bro. Front squats have helped with my flexibility a lot, why dont you back squat?

Not bad... I got the impression that you lacked thickness in your hammies... maybe it is the video that makes you look thinner....

Just remember that focusing on a anterior chain domianant will definitely ignore the back... if you choose to do front squats as main movement, I would destroy the **** out of my posterior chain with big movements like arch back goodmornings, heavy romanians and then some more light exercises like pull throughs/1 legged hyperextention, leg curls etc..

If not, your legs can become like a guy that works biceps while ignoring triceps.

tbh i choose front squats lately because my hams/glutes were imo a bit dominant, so as of right now im not worrying too much about that kind of disproportion



but i do go heavy on romanians, leg curls, and dumbbell stiff legged deads (i just sometimes skip/go easy on romanians when i feel i might injure my back) but i dont make any specialization stretches, glute bridges etc.

i've back squatted 90% of my time lifting, only recently picked up fronts - i find them A LOT better in adding quad size, it also feels more natural to me


i also find it more challenging and motivating...and i wouldn't have progressed sth like 50-60 lbs on my back squat in the last couple of weeks like i did on fronts

have you changed your avi recently ?
