Front Squats

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

Anyone do these? Im doing these for the 1st time in my entire life. Im only using about 95lbs so I get use to the form and weight on my shoulders. Other than balancing the bar, I like how if feels, my quads are aye yae yae!

to really kill quads I do 4 sets of squat, 4 sets of leg press, 2 sets deadlift then 2 sets of high rep low weight squats......killer

not a fan of front squats though....thats jjust me

It's one of the staples when I use a Mon/Tues, Thurs/Fri upper/lower routine.

You grab the bar as if u finished a clean, or do you use the cross arm method?

I used cross arm. I just decided to try them after like 9 years of lifting weights:laugh:

I definately cant use too much weight with it at this point, Id need that mantaray made for fronts or Im sure my shoulders would be ouch.

Ya I pretty much front squat half of what I normally squat.

If you got good wrist flexibility you should the clean grip. See how u like it.

That is if you decide to do it again :p

Imma do more next week, imma do regular squats on friday

I'm too shook to do squats with weights/bar...call me a pu$$y if you want. When I do squats I do high rep no weight squats. I'm @ 292 lbs right now so I got enough weight...lol

My issue is I don't wanna phuck my back up and also I wanna make sure my form is perfect before doing it with weights. I dunno.

you haven't really weightlifted until you've done squats man. That's like the staple of weightlifting.

[KINGBLU]

i cant front squat. i think my arms aint long enough

My legs are pretty strong but my arse could use more definition (n/h). I'm just really worried about my form. I don't wanna f my back up.

BTW, what are "front squats"?

Get to squatin!

But seriously, you're missing out on overall progression. And if your back is hurting with good form lower the weight to something u can handle.

I didn't squat myself for a long time. Neglected my legs like a mufugga. Just started about 2 years ago real light at first. I was weak as sh*t. Barely able to do 25 lbs on either side. And I hated the leg soreness after.

But I stuck to it and progressed fast. Now I can rep 2 plates on each side which is pretty good for my size. My legs gained muscle which turn benefited the rest of my body. So in short, do them.

Im trying that tonight. I never had enough nerve to try it. It looks harder than regular squats, which is a b!tch on my knees.

[Q-TwEEzY]

I used to do them until I started experiencing knee pain. Pause squats are where its at

I did these last night and I found out that I couldnt use the same weight as regular squats. I could only do 4x8 of 225 comfortably. My shoulders are sore but my legs feel different, I guess because of a new variation. Also it's harder on my knees.

[Q-TwEEzY]

lol yea u probably shouldn't use heavy weight, especially if its your first time
