You have 10 seconds to explain why haven't you replaced your back squats with front squats instead.

>works the core more, that means less ab exercises
>works the ass less than back squats and focuses more on quads
>easier to keep a straight back doing it
>can do it without a squat rack


Literally no reason to do back squats over it.

Wrist injury prevents me from doing a comfortable front rack position, and the bodybuilder cross armed position feels weird as fuck

Wish I could though :(

If you do low bar, it's a good idea to do front squats too.

If you do high bar, go ride leg press machine in your spare time.
>>
>>42149403

It works everything the same as back squats except high intensity front squats use your thoracic spinal erectors more than back squats, which use your lumbar erectors more.

>works the ass less than back squats

and this is a good thing why exactly?

Olympic lifters should do both ideally, at least 50-50 front to back squats. General strength trainees and athletes like football players would probably benefit more from front squats more than back squats due to the positional strength required to properly execute front squats. Back squats should be performed by olympic lifters and athletes though, because they work the posterior chain more, and can be loaded heavier than back squats (generally). Powerlifters are the only lifters who should primarily train the back squat instead of having an even split between back and front squatting.

Prove me wrong, faggots.

>>42150967
Because we have snatch grip deadlifts and hip thrusts for that.

No, you have to explain why you think front squats are superior, when every coach in the world disagrees with you.

>Coach L did not feel that training the Front Squat was a priority for weightlifters.

He explained that Front Squats were only chosen over Back Squats when they wished to reduce the workload on the legs in a particular workout, or to train the positioning and technique of the movement if it was a glaring weakness for the lifter.

>>42149403
Fucking love those, I do 50/50 front and lowbar. Can't really justify only doing front squats, lowbar is such a mainstay for a reason.
