>do bodyweight variation of exercise with good intensity >retain decent amount of strength
Sounds about right. Retaining muscle is easier then growing it.
At a time when I was only doing pushups and no squats a girl in school noticed I had a big ass. After a few weeks of bulking and squating with dumbbells my ass was even more big to the point where my family was laughing at me for a year. I will never do squats ever again.
Could it be that my ass fat is caused by me hardly ever walking? My diet is not that bad and I am skinny. My ass doesn't look big now as I lost weight but I don't know if it was the bulking protein diet, squats, lack of cardio or a mix of all that screwed me over.
Your upper body must be smol.
I have fat ass genetics+barrel chest so it balances out.
Just do upper body work, or do narrow stance front squats so it's more quads vs wide powerlifting squats which end up hitting more glutes.
You can always do isolations or compounds that are more quad focused anyways.
Agreed. Front barbell squats are great but have enormous injury potential. Take a cattlebell and get a same effect with far less risk and lots of dynamics potential.
Where did you get that it was specifically from front squats? Your knees could be blown out from any squat of its heavy enough and other factors like roids or overtraining. Front squat is similarly effective as back squat in regards to muscles recruitment but less stressful on the knees. I don’t know if any injuries that are specifically more likely to happen with front squats
What do you think squats are for... Glute activation is not as high as you think it is.

It's exactly as high as high as I think it is because I know how high it is. The guy likes to raise his heels to use the quads more than the hamstrings. Stop sperging out over it and bringing up bullshit about glutes.

It doesn't matter how mobile you are. Elevating your heels still makes it more of a quad isolation. Thanks for evangelizing us on mobility and all. It is important. But I'm still gonna use quad isolations if I feel the need.

If your quads aren’t being worked properly in a front squat it is because you don’t have mobility and aren’t going all the way down. Mobility-let cope

Do you think that people only isolate muscles because they don't have the mobility to do compounds. You know that front squats don't isolate your quads right? Is mobility your religion?
Unless you're a literal estrogen popping troony, men don't store fat in their ass in the same way. Your ass is going to be tight, muscular, and well shaped but it'll never be disproportionately large.

One of the best exercises you can do for vitality , longevity, knee health and and, it is perfect to start squating with these you can progress to double kb front squat with time. You need the squat pattern but you do not need to load it very heavy.
Front squats with a pathetically small amount of weight are goat?
Well, you can take verious cattle bell weights.
Do not put these on a cow. Jesus Christ.
Why not bro, scared of being moogged?
Why not just front squat with a barbell?
easier on wrists and collarbone, or if you have impingement
I only did bodyweight squats until failure every second day (~130reps) and after 2 months when i went back to the gym i could ez lift 3pl8 for reps
>went BACK to the gym
Back is the key word here, how much did you lift before?
4 plates

Adding some other exercises with no rest inbetween until ending a set of, say, 5 exercises it is. Cope

Pray tell, what injuries can you sustain when doing front squats?
Blowing your knees out like Clarence Kennedy

He destroyed his knees from all that Tricking
It's spelled cattleball
Raise the heels on a pl8 or something,
close the stance to something really narrow
Do it for high reps, in the 15-20 range
Now we're talking
>Raise the heels on a pl8 or something,
DYEL mobility-let
It was never about mobility you dummy, it's like saying Jesus was walking on water because he can't swim
there is 0 reason to use lifts or stand on plates, you didn't even explain yourself, mobility-let moron.
Probably to focus it more on the quads.

Elevated heels gang
It's always about mobility, and you'll thank me when you get old, or you'll be watching me from SNAP CITY
No matter how good your mobility is, if you raise your heels you will be able to go even lower
Based knower
Injured my knee doing this.
But kettlebell squats feel really good on the injured knee, I also feel my quad, abs, and hammies much more.
I do it with a 40kg bell but low reps
high reps I'd do like 24kg bell and curl a couple times each time you squat
>he hasn't tried squatting 50 reps in one set before
I am afraid of squating because I don't want to have a huge ass bigger than all females around me.

If you've got fat ass genetics, you could easily be an instagram himbo. You're just leaving money on the table breh

I like racked ones more, upper body doesn't get tired before my legs that way
