What would I be getting out of this that a back squat doesn't provide?

my dick up your ass
the frick out of you
as frick
overcomplicated technique
how fat are you?
Buddy, if you're not at least *lightly* choking yourself on FS, your front rack position is shit
>lightly choke
>chokes the frick out
well, which is it
Not sure, after all, OP's "choke the shit out of" could be my "lightly choking". Either way, you should feel it on your neck
It shouldn’t choke you at all. Work on your technique before pontificating on a Swedish sauna enthusiast forum you triple Black person.
learn how to hold the barbell
After i fixed my form it felt great
Are you describing women?
>uncomfortable as frick
I used to hate front squats for this very reason but I injured my lower back and can't do a "normal" squat without pain atm. For some strange reason, front squats feel just fine. I guess I'll have to stick to them until my back heals
Why don't you people just not do the exercise instead of making a thread on IST where you're like "waaah I pissed my diapers now I'm crying waaah waaah"?
The bar should be resting on your delts and touching your neck, it is not supposed to choke at all.

Yeah I did these for a while and they're not that bad but the risk of injury is higher (I lift at home) so at the moment I just do barbell hack squats and Bulgarian split squats for quads
>risk of injury is higher
https://www.fitnessdayone.com/barbell-hack-squat-vs-front-squat/
>You have a much higher risk of injuring yourself by performing a front squat than a hack squat. Because the weight is held high and in front of you during a front squat, your lower back is forced to work very hard to maintain control of the weight. The front squat has the highest chance of causing a lower back injury of all the squat variations. In addition, some lifters experience pain in their shoulders or wrists while performing front squats. Barbell hack squats put less load on the spine than other types of squats, including front squats and regular squats.

yea, I also wouldn't recommend a front squat to a newb
>don't have a squat rack
makes sense, however, the clean
I also don't have a squat rack at home so I'm lifting from the floor which just makes hack squats way easier
I don't get front squats either. Where the frick are you supposed to place the bar? It just keeps rolling off. I rather to back squats and leg extentions than this shit.
>Where the frick are you supposed to place the bar? It just keeps rolling off.
Don't blame de lift, blame your lack of mobility. Last time I checked oly lifters seems to be doing just fine
> What would I be getting out of this that a back squat doesn't provide?
A better quad stimulus, also it's fun and doing things because they are difficult is fun.
>so fat I can get by with body weight squats
Or that’s how I cope anyways
