    Yes. In fact, front squats force you to be more upright and target quads better than back squats.

    Back squats are an overrated powerlifter meme.

      Back squats are amazing for general strength so to say they're they're overrated meme is absolutely moronic.

          Well they have real world applications and have carry over to other lifts and have been shown to let an athlete have better performance

            they literally don't. to have enough strength for real world applications you need to be able to squat 1 pl8 for like 10 reps.
            that practical strength meme is alright but realize where the cutoff is.

      Yeah go ahead

      Largely true but imo back squats are great for noobs since they require less technique and are easier to get stronger on

            >squat
            why do this when I can isolate and really target what I'm trying to work on, feel a much better mind muscle connection and really emphasise the eccentric and concentric
            >every leg presser
            because some morons put on 400kg and snap their shit doesnt have any bearing on me, nor do morons who tear their pecs on bench or preachers or anything else

              Listen here you gay, mind muscle connection is 99% bs to teach idiots like you to not cheat form

              >why not leg press
              You cant ego lift a squat. Unlike a deadlift, you cannot use bad form to lift it up unless you cant even control your knees. Your whole body has to be strong, not just the leg press motion.

              >powerlifter bs?
              Increasing your leg press will not increase your squat, but the squat will increase your leg press

              >muh aesthetics
              You dumb Black person will not be able to train after 30 with this philosophy, your quads will take over with your non existent glutes, hams and lower back (posterior chain), basically walking will cause injury

                Feeling the contraction and actually feeling the lift target the muscles you're trying to develop is actually just bs to teach not to cheat form lmao, you're delusional. You can easily have good form, properly angle, arch and do shit right on bench or any lift but if you're not taking into account your own biomechanics, not getting the correct drive and ultimately not feeling the contraction then it can mean frick all, same for any lift, there are more efficacious lifts depending on your response to them and your own individual form needs, this isn't about "cheating" you moron. Klokov is going to adjust his snatch individually to himself, differently from someone like Lu. What feels the best in getting that contraction matters the most. For reference I use to do strength training like everyone on this board, got up to 1/2/3/4 for reps but found much better results by incorporating lifts that fit my needs better.

                You can very fricking easily ego lift squat, the amount of rounding of the back, half repping and all around bullshit I've seen from morons squatting is astounding.

                If anything the inverse has been shown time and again, those that focus on hypertrophy can better apply themselves to strength than those coming from strength can apply themselves to hypertrophy. But regardless of that it really doesn't matter what you increase or don't, the thing that ultimately matters the most is progressive overload, building your body and muscle, I don't give a shit if leg press doesn't equate to lifting more on squats but the inverse does, I care about shaping my body.

                I'm not just training for muh aesthetics, nor are magic lifts like squat really as godly in developing your entire body as you claim. Nevermind the fact that I account for building my entire lower and upper body, you think I'm doing leg press but not thinking about how to hit my glutes better by doing hip thrusts, or getting my hams in through leg curls or back through deads.

          Post leg homosexual. Every leg pressing moron I see in my gym that doesn't do squats has chicken legs smaller than most of the women at the gym.

    Why does every natty who swears by leg press have stick legs? Could it be they're just afraid to squat?

    I have a home gym with a good bar and no squat rack (cause I’m poor lol) so I only do front squats. They are great for leg development and feel better imo. They are way more on your hips, quads, abs, traps, and shoulders if you hold them with a full grip on the bar. Biggest downside they don’t seem to hit my butt as much even though I bottom out atg. I do more stiff leg dl to hit my posterior chain now.
