Front Squats

>I fucking hate back squats

Theres your reason.
"WAAAH ITS TOO HAAAAARD" is not a valid reason to replace a great exercise with an inferior one.

Yes, front squats are also really good, but they will not give you the gains that back squats do.

Don't be a nulifter little bitchboi front squatting sub 2pl8 thinking you look cool.
Front squats are an assistance to back squats.
Stop being mentally weak.

>but they will not give you the gains that back squats do
Why should I give a shit?

>>42340990

You don't have to.
Your loss buddy. I suppose you get to avoid another challenging thing in life.
Fear of failure is a bitch huh?

Front squats are more sustainable, and if you want to look good and not look like a fat shit, you should do them

There's 0 reason to focus lower body as a male, as long as it's proportional who gives a shit.
I apologise for not being an obese powerlifter

these back squat shills are the fucking worst

I switched to atg front squats and never looked back. My quads are huge and ass is joocy. Make sure to add a hamstring workout to balance things out. Diddys aren't enough

Front squats >>> Back squats
Dumbells/incline >>> Barbell flat bench
Chinups/rows >>> Deadlifts

the truth

>>42341053
Snatch-grip deadlift >>> Wide-grip rows >>> Chinups/rows >>> Deadlifts
This is the real back-pill

>>42341053
A fellow enlightened anon. What's gucci my dude?

Also, front squats + RDLs is pretty much all you need for leg gains. Feel free to add some accesories though

>>42341039
Russian curls muh friend

>>42341053
>Front squats >>> Back squats
I don't disagree

>Dumbells/incline >>> Barbell flat bench
Eh, sure

>Chinups/rows >>> Deadlifts
Nah, nigga

>One day tried correcting my squat form (back squat 120lbs.) and ever since I've had a sharp pain in my hip whenever I back squat even just the bar
>no pain at all when I try it with kettlebells

Should I switch to front squat? I have very long femurs and tibias; I think that's why I had so much trouble back squatting while keeping my chest up and the bar path in the middle of my feet. It feels a lot better when the weight is in front of me rather than behind me.

Is front squat better for people with my build, or am I just shit at back squatting and need.more practice?

All I do for legs is trap bar deadlifts, split squats, and calf raises.

>>42341142
this anon knows. I add in some sprints/hill sprints too.

>>42341139
You need more practice. Bone structure is a bad excuse.

>>42341249
Tbh it could be true (probably not, since he is weak)

I hate you people so much. You're all weak, and probably cant even FS 255. Losers.

Meanwhile, i backsquat and front squat 3 times a week. WEAK LOSERS

>>42341249
So then can you explain why I can squat with perfect form and no hip pain when holding a 45lbs. kettlebell close to my chest, but when I have the bar on my back I feel a sharp pain at the bottom of my squat?

Hello SLfag, have you finished your milk for the day yet?

Enjoy your T-rex gains

It's pretty hard to get intensity in the legs when you need so much core power, also I can't do the thing where the arms are symmetrical above the bar so I have to cross them in front of the chest and then often the barbell begins to slip on heavy sets.
But they are cool because they work your abs and enforce good technique.

>>42341283
I recently FS 265 x 5 as a 185 lbs skellt

U mad fatty?

>>42340898
Front squats+RDLs.
You'll lose some potential gains, sure, but greatly reduce the spinal compression and still get pretty good gains.
But if you aren't even FSing your bodyweight, I'll slap your shit. It's lighter than back squats, but it's not a 'light' exercise by any standard.

>>42341139
Break at your knees first, that should fix your issue. Also do a toddler squat for a minute or two immediately before you warm up.

>>42341135
This also my evaluation.

>>42341053
>Front squats >>> Back squats
Not if you are going for power. But it's good to do both.

>Dumbells/incline >>> Barbell flat bench
Definitely not for strength. For aesthetics, ya.

>Chinups/rows >>> Deadlifts
All good exercises, the former definitely can't replace the latter though. Not early the same stress for your CNS.

Back squats hurt my shoulders for some reason. When I grip the bar it feels like I'm really stretching my shoulders past the point that they want to be stretched and it makes them hurt

>>42343658
Sounds like you're using your arms while you are squatting. Unless your shoulder flexibility is beyond miserable, you shouldn't be experiencing any shoulder pain in a normal squat.
