Front Squats or Back Squats?

Front

Gotta have a good posterior chain exercise if you do front. As much as I like front squats, I don't like deadlift and it's variations even more, so I stick to back squats.
Kayden Roberts
I usually end my squats with a failure set of front. Never really tried it heavy or on its own.

Front squats are more manly.

Manlets are cute CUTE!
Anthony Gomez
Front squats are no joke. I can't even get the form right. The bar is too close to my neck and it's hard to stay upright. I back squat 2 plates 3X8.

>tfw 4.5 pl8 back squat but struggle with 3.5 pl8 front squat
I'm a huge faggot pls kill me

Jack Reyes
do curls instead, nobody cares about your squat just incels from fit
Dylan Barnes

front squats wednesday
Lincoln Richardson
Can confirm. I do both but I get people saying whoa.jpeg and asking for pointers when I do front squats.
Jack Parker
front squats!! glad to see other supporters itt
John Cooper
Just do zerchers instead of front squats.
Benjamin Morris
Been off the gym for a month due to inflammation in my eyes.
So I'm thinking of going hard with front squats when I get back. Max them out until I stall with a 5lbs increase every session and then switch back to back squats
Carter Baker
for people with short biceps, wouldnt that hurt resting the bar on the tendon?
Liam Rodriguez
How do i get a ffxiv gf
Evan Brown
I don't know, but I can't bend my wrists enough for front squats so I had to find an alternative.
Ryan Lopez
>pain in my arm preventing me from doing back squats
>will attempt front squats for the first time today
I'm scared.
Gabriel Richardson
>just do zerchers
He fell for the zercher meme, guys
Samuel Rodriguez
Work on front rack mobility. You're probably tight in your upper back and shoulders. If you get the rack right the bar will lay on your delts rather than your neck
Josiah Ramirez
not sure, most gfs you will find on there will be gf(male)
i couldn't either , so i do the cross grip thingy, pic related
James Green
Squat on my face, duh
Lincoln Torres
Pretty much same here. Shoulders scream at me when back squating. So fronts and deads for me
Lincoln Gonzalez
It takes like a week maybe 2 of stretching to get the rack position.
Jackson Phillips
I fucked up my left wrist when I failed during a back squat, I'm kinda hesitant to put too much pressure on it.
Elijah Nguyen
Front squats ftw
Complement them with RDLs so you have both extremes of the hinge/squat continuum covered. Much better than rippetoe squat and dl, they are too similar and fry your cns.
Gavin Roberts
I love front squats, and do them instead of back squats, but
>if you're competing
>if you're an actual athlete
>if your livelihood rests on your strength
then high bar back squat is your squat.
Front squats are somewhat less taxing to the whole body as a unit, which is great if you can't kill yourself in the gym every day because you've got other shit to deal with in your life, but not so great if you want to get as strong as possible ASAP.

Bready good ratio.
Thomas Harris
Both. Squats for intensity, Front-squats for volume.
I like doing both even though they overlap since Front Squats are already hard to do heavy, they work your core more when you do higher rep ranges, and backsquats for high reps cause more spinal compression (as far as I know)
