Are front squats superior to back squats for quad development?

that's some serious kyphosis

>>39465024
No

No that's just the result of SS

>>39465024
Front squats are superior at creating overall body stability and strength by that's really it

>>39465427

So 0 hypertrophy then

Not him but basically yeah. You're able to put a lot more weight on the bar with back squats. That's where big quads come from (assuming high bar)

Crashing in with a relevant question:

I fucking hate squats. It hurts my shoulders (not because of the bar, but because of the position), it puts way too much pressure on my back and really hard to progress. Would I be fine with just front squats in my routine?

>>39465024
That's APT right?

>>39465543
that's a lot more than just pelvic tilt.

he certainly does have APT doe.

>>39465511
Absolutely. Front squats and deadlifts are goat dude. That's all I do

>>39465449
Irrelevant. By that logic leg press is the best exercise.

>>39465710
What the fuck are you talking about. That is the worst analogy I've ever heard

>>39465730
Comparing weight moved between exercises is irrelevant.

>>39465746
No it's not. Leg press isn't even a lift it's a freaking machine of course muscle gains are going to be limited

You do less weight on front squats because it's harder to leverage your body when the bar is in front of you. Your legs are doing less

Again your analogy is fucking stupid.

>>39465449
what the flying fuck are you talking about

>>39465770
You move more weight in back squat because you're able to use posterior chain more. You can't say "more weight on back squat = more quad growth". Could be less quad growth if posterior chain is limiting your back squat. Don't get tangled in the analogy, you're spewing stupid shit.

Work on shoulder mobility friendo

>>39465826
Is the squat worth spending valuable time working on shoulder mobility? I've had shoulder problems for fucking ever, although they've stabilized since I started doing dips.

My left shoulder likes to come out of the socket every once in a while (probably on of the worst pains I've ever felt)

>>39465853
Do it for more than just the squats, you're less likely to be injured during day to day life if you're more flexible. My friend fucked up a ligament by reaching to pick up his phone 8 months ago, because he was so inflexible. His whole arm is still fucked up

>>39465770
>Your legs are doing less

Quads aren't.

>>39465024
Damn that nigger and me have the same body type except he has a way nicer ass.

and probably a bigger penis.

Front squats for more quads
Back squats for quads/hamstrings/glutes

>>39465511
Yeah I switched from back squats to front squats for this reason. Now I'm getting back into back squats and this problem has disappeared. FS are great because they force you to stay upright; this strengthens your core and upper back, making back squats easier.

>>39466115
You have that severe anterior tilt too?

>>39466433
Yep. I got warned by a doctor when I was 14 or something to do core excercises but I ignored him and played vidya instead for 6 years.

>>39465024
The only problem with front squats is that people do not load their upperback enough for it to keep pace with their quads. I made linear progress from 185 to 300 once I learned to do chain loaded front squats and super heavy rack holds.
I don't really see the point of back squats anymore. I can lift maybe 10% more but they just don't hit the quads that well and it's hard to program my deadlift when back squats require so much spinal erector activity.
