>that wrist position
>"more natural"
People don't like the wrist position
>t. immobile fatty
Just cross your arms then?
thats for immobile fags, next you will ask me to wear lifting gloves
Sure. I'm just saying their are options if people are just going to whine about "muh wrists"
/thread
It really is that simple. Cross your arms
I do this. Feels great. Although this is part of the front squat that oly lifters use to gatekeep it.
I am still unsure if I like the front or high bar back squat more. Low bar is fine too.

You'll fuck up your wrists more from browsing IST or gaming to excess
I don't do front squats because my quads are big enough already. I want a fatter ass
I also want you do have a bigger ass.
P.S. Your bussy shots on /hm/ are kino
Thanks. I try
Do front squats really just hit quads? What are some good ass exercises? My quads are already plenty big from regular squatting.
No, they don't and no, they're not.
Unless your quads are hanging over your kneecaps like a pair of elephant balls, they are not big.
>ass exercises?
glute bridge
hip thrust
bulgarian split squats with front legs close
good mornings
I do front squats cause my ass is fat enough already
Shit form. His elbows are so low that the barbell could slip off at any moment
good point
hands should fully grip the bar, none of this crossfag fingertip shit
gross
better off using an SSB
>hands should fully grip the bar
Not even every Olympic weightlifter does this
fingertips are fine
You can't make me.
The bars weight should be mostly on your shoulders, not your wrist. Arms should just stabilize. It's why crossing arms is easier for some people.
Russian oly lifters like Klokov and Torokhtiy can somehow front squat like 600lbs with a full five finger grip, their hands out wide, and their elbows pointed straight down. It baffles the shit out of me. I'd dislocate something doing that.
I have trouble getting my pinky under the bar, and I have to have my hands just outside shoulder width with my elbows parallel to the ground. Although I did steal his gopnik lower body technique by flaring my knees out wide at the bottom of the squat. That feels really good for me.
They have shorter arms which helps
They also train specifically to do so for jerk start position
They also do mobility work
my ass still gets sore the next day when i do front squats
At that point just do atlas stone or stone squats
Yeah, let me go over to the atlas stone section of my gym, with dozens of stones in 5 lb increments
just make your own, or find a nice big rock on the ground, or dig one up.
Also who the fuck does 5lb increments?
stay small fag
>the autist who brings his own rock to the gym
Not him, there were plenty of strong people before muh gyms retard. Lol. You use rocks just like you would sand bags.
cry into your rock about it
Or you could just use the hack squat and leg press you know like straight people do
>hack squat
>leg press
meme lifts for varbies and roidtrannies
I like back squat, front squat, and sled press
Go suck a cock you fanny pack wearing dick docker
post body fat percentage
Post gerbil you got up your ass you daisy watering sword warmer
my guess is 27%
too low?
My guess is spread cheeks for teacher in tard class by age 16? Too old?
>superior
For quad hypertrophy at comparable portions of 1rm, yes, but not dramatically. Worse for adductors so I think its a wash.
>more natural
What does this even mean you stupid freak? By what kind of a fucking metric is "natural"?
it means if feels better
she's perfect
Rita Benavidez
She used to lift at Cal Strength and do Crossfit
Why not just do the based version of front squats?
>M-muh forearms
Just wear elbow sleeves or throw your knee sleeves on your elbows.
its just gay looking is the real reason
>owning AND using sleeves
do they match your gloves, wrist wraps, and panties
Apparently professional athletes that use those are all gays even when they put 500 lbs overhead
I've done 405 from the floor
They're retarded and not comparable to front squats
Good for carries, but it's a meme lift for squatting that is more about pain tolerance than strength
>Apparently professional athletes that use those are all gays even when they put 500 lbs overhead
yea, you get it
I'm sure they claimed it was raw, too
There is no "raw" in Olympic Weightlifting or Strongman, but here's your (You)
>Strongman
>professional chud "athlete"
weightlifters are using elbow sleeves now? hookay
This you
?
Yes, they use belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and, heavens forbid, even tape and chalk!
The only reason they don't use elbow sleeves is because it would make judging lockouts more difficult.
>Apparently professional athletes that use those
>they don't use sleeves
make up your mind nig
GOAT for reference
where's all his cope no rep devices?
His elevated heel shoes. The biggest cope in lifting.
kek
Here's your (You)
Congrats, you found one lifter that doesn't
Pretty much every current lifter does
>his counterpoint is a woman
that's a snatch
>that gut
lasha needs to walk with wraps to prevent fucking his shit up from gravity
Here's your (You)
You can go to bed now, the adults are talking
adults don't need to wear wraps you geriatric fag
Don't you need to go watch BBC cuck videos right now?

>have surgical implants that have wires run over my collarbone

otherwise I would do them more often
>have surgical implants
gross chud
theyre pacemakers 🙁
vax ?
You enjoying the cyborg life? TRANShumanist
doesn’t hit the abductors or adductors or hamstrings
you bros got realize that even professional Olympic weightlifters do the back squat in their training
if you leave those muscles undeveloped you’ll get mobility issues and won’t be any good at the Olympic lifts
Yes, but they use it as an accessory lift and don't even go ass to grass all the time.
And OPs thread was asking what’s the point of back squatting period. What’s your point? The back squat trains muscles that the front squat doesn’t. Therefore it is an important part of anyone’s lifting training.
Does it?
There are tons of videos of this guy back squatting for a reason
I don't think they necessarily work different leg muscles
You do front squats for positional strength
You do back squats because you can load more weight
You don't do low bar because it's fucking dumb
Front squat doesn’t build the hamstrings or ab/adductors.
Why would a high bar back squat work those, but not a front squat?
Olympic lifters are also getting plenty of hamstring work in just doing cleans, snatches, and pulls
Bullshit
He just said knees over toes are bad
Show us your squat anon
Back squat for posterior chain. You need to he able to sit nack in the squat. If you back squat with your knees way out over your toes like a front squat you just don't know how to squat, simple as. In that case just front squat. They do, in fact, behave quit differently on the body but must be done correctly.
>if you back squat with your knees way out over your toes you don't know how to back squat
Top tier bait
Oh... you don't know. Lol
No it isn't. It leaves out the hamstrings and works the glutes less, which is why you do less weight with it. And if I wanted to work my quads more ( why would I want that? ) then I can just switch to highbar back squats. But I like my knee's so I won't be doing that.
