          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

                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.

        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.

              You do front squats for positional strength
              You do back squats because you can load more weight

                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.

    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.
