      you don't need back squats at all if you do front squats and DL

        you will NEVER have a strong front squat if you only do front squats. and you will never have big quads from doing 225 front squats. you need to back squat just to build your front squat.

    >failure point is upper back/core
    It's a good lift but not a primary leg movement. If you want to replace back squats then bulgarian split squats are a better option

      Are there any other barbell compounds that are like this but even more so? Or is front squat the best it gets? Serious question

    how the frick do ppl do these heavy without choking themselves out? not matter where I place the bar, if I keep my elbows up the bar pushes against my neck. It's like getting choked out but not in a way that gives me a boner.

      Hold the bar on your delts just in front of your clavicles.

      Only takes a couple weeks, and the mobility gainz will stay for life.

        And what does it have to wit the bar lying on clavicles? It hurts bones.
        >mobility gainz will stay for life
        Ahahaha. You are delusional as frick. I used to do the full splits a year ago and now I cant even touch my toes without bending my knees.
        >No.
        This is a clavicle of one of the best lifters in an entire world. For the regular normie without that shit load of muscle mass that will be guaranteed bruises. You are just a fatass.

            Stop bullshitting. He said in an interview it's because he never learned how to properly recover from jerks during training (dropping the bar from overhead back to rack position).

        every youtube video on the front squat technique claims that it should be choking you and warns you that it will be slightly difficult to breathe.
        It seems that you are doing it wrong.

    Front squat is so based. Definitely my favorite exercise. MY goal is to hit 320lbs in the next few months since that'd be 2x bodyweight. Currently at 285.

          My brother. I think we have the same stats.
          My front squat 1rm is 285lbs at the moment, and I front squat more than most people in my gym back squat, especially since it's zoomerville. Unfortunately, a 400lbs front squat would be double my bodyweight.

    I started doing these a couple months ago because my body is horribly built for back squats (lanklet with crazy long femurs and a tiny torso) and I'm finally getting the depth i've always wanted and the movement feels really natural. my only problem is now that im progressing in weight the bar is irritating the frick out of my front delts, the skin will be red and irritated with some bruising for a few days after doing them. other than wearing a thick jacket what can i do to avoid this?
