That's for the best.
You ultimately know what best for your body, not some internet moron.
If you honestly try an exercise don't like it, it's probably for a reason.

Lol I do the opposite. Deadlifts frick me up and squats are ok. I used to prefer front squats, but now I do back squats and hip thrusts to target the posterior chain that would normally fall to deadlifts.
notice the losers who make these threads never post their own pics.
Let's see your awesome results from front squating you homosexual dyel loser fatshit Black person homosexual dyel
I only want to dk these because inhave stenosis and after a hockey injury back squats cause some reaction. So i think front squats may be a way to keep barbell squats in my program
About 2 months ago. I used to hate doing (back) squats. Now that I´ve made the switch I look forward squats. Love the insane core activation front squats give you.
if you cross your elbows everyone will know you hvae poor wrist mobility. and in their heads they will mock you. this will make you low status. you wont be invited to grill and pool parties. people will talk behind your back. women will avoid you and complain to management if you say hi.
the whole gym will know you have poor wrist mobility
No one else at my gym squats more than 3pl8, and I've never even seen anyone else there front squat. I don't care what randos at the gym think of me because I am not insecure. I don't worry about my "gym status", and I don't rely on gym strangers for social interaction because I have real friends. I would also never speak to a w*man.
if you're that antisocial save your money and get a basic bar and rack for home use as well as at least one pair of bumperplates.
your squat will most likely be limited by your standing press with no rack, but if you never bother socializing while your there you may as well lift at home if you have space for a bar and rack unless you just really like the tanning booth some have.
front squat worship is a dyel signal. >back squats are scary so I do front squats with 135lbs I'm stronger than you by being weaker!!!
It's like when a benchlet says dips are better
2.5+ plates for reps assuming you just train like a regular Joe on front squat is really impressive, gj lad. Maybe not as good if you're an oly lifter, fatass, and/or midget
When I realized that back squats dont make sense the point of squatting down is to pick something up and carry it so loading like you would to carry something makes more sense.
Now I do hack squats, front squats with a bar or kettlebells/dumbell and lunges with thoese bags in the gym that weigh like up to 30kg or dumbbells
When I got lazy and just started holding a 50lb dumbbell that I was already using on flat bench under my chin and squatting, and just did a shit ton of reps and feeling like I felt it in my quads more.
I do not like them therefore I will not do them

Strawmanning

Go away rippetoe
lmao
I do both. I high bar backsquat 2 days a week and frontsquat 1 day a week
Based. I do them both once a week each.
I only want to dk these because inhave stenosis and after a hockey injury back squats cause some reaction. So i think front squats may be a way to keep barbell squats in my program
I am not a crippled piece of shit that can't back squat so i do both.
zerchers are the best
seems like carrying a barbell on your elbows can be quite limiting
Thats because you have weak elbows
About 2 months ago. I used to hate doing (back) squats. Now that I´ve made the switch I look forward squats. Love the insane core activation front squats give you.
Is using the crossed arms grip acceptable?
Yes if you have poor wrist mobility.
Might be safer too, if you fail a front squat and don't push the bar out of the front rack position you will break both of your arms.
Moral of the story: don't do a lift you don't know how to bail from.
if you cross your elbows everyone will know you hvae poor wrist mobility. and in their heads they will mock you. this will make you low status. you wont be invited to grill and pool parties. people will talk behind your back. women will avoid you and complain to management if you say hi.

>he doesn't have an alt gym for his embarrassing lifts
true, I have a backup gym I use exclusively for barbell hip thrusts and hamstring curls
this is a brilliant idea actually
>walk into gym
>lay on bench
>put 10lb plate on head
>thrash like a dolphin for the next 15 minutes
>leave

jesus christ, I bet you don't even tip the receptionist.
I go after staffed hours so I never have to interact with anyone who works there.

This post made me laugh (yes i know its satire)...right, bros??
It throws off your form though, one shoulder will be higher than the other. Maybe switch which arm is on top each set?
I do feel them a lot more in my quads but they make my wrists hurt
front squat worship is a dyel signal.
>back squats are scary so I do front squats with 135lbs I'm stronger than you by being weaker!!!

okay but what if I'm repping out >3plate on front squat?
2.5+ plates for reps assuming you just train like a regular Joe on front squat is really impressive, gj lad. Maybe not as good if you're an oly lifter, fatass, and/or midget
lol you're not, post quads
That’s because dips ARE better.
>i refuse to elaborate
>leaves thread
they are way harder to progress with. if you do the snatch it makes sense tho
>I see a guy every saturday morning
>just does barbell hip thrusts, abductor machine and some trx
>think he's gay
>turns out im at his alt gym
kek
I used to have them in my routine but I replaced them with zercher squats.
I just do both squat variations on my two leg days. First day is deadlift then front squat, second day is back squat followed by romanian deadlifts
Front squats have more carry over but back squats are better for building brute strength.
Carry over to what?
Being a pseud
oly lifts, which have better carryover into literally everything, denying this is pseudery
The core activation is GOAT. I never do back squats now.
When I realized that back squats dont make sense the point of squatting down is to pick something up and carry it so loading like you would to carry something makes more sense.
Now I do hack squats, front squats with a bar or kettlebells/dumbell and lunges with thoese bags in the gym that weigh like up to 30kg or dumbbells
Frick back squats
If the plan is to limit quad growth based on upper back strength, they're great. Otherwise, they're not that special but a fun variation.
dyel version of back squats
When I saw the fancy boys out class the fat powerlifters who dont even range of motion
When I got lazy and just started holding a 50lb dumbbell that I was already using on flat bench under my chin and squatting, and just did a shit ton of reps and feeling like I felt it in my quads more.
