Great post. Today was leg day and I added those in using the straps. I can barely fucking walk, literally. I might not be able to go to work tomorrow. AL's tren e had me in beast mode. That was the first time I did front squats in a couple years. Good shit.
Of course..that's the only way to do front squats.mechanically it puts the same stress on the same muscles and your hands(wrist) are supported by your shoulders.
Very good post I may add.thanks!
I have never done front squats before but I really want to throw few into the mix today. I think I might try them with a lower weight on a smith machine when I first do them.
Don't use the smith machine. A smith machine will allow you to use sloppy form and still perform the movement so you won't get nearly the benefit from it. Use a straight bar instead.Originally Posted by mj_0360

It's one of those overlooked movements that got cast aside because most don't want to work that hard so they use a leg extension instead. Something you can do that will make it a bit easier on you is to stretch when your done.

I use the front squats on leg day. I going to pickup some straps to give that way a try. I usually do them arms crossed.
Am I a huge wuss or what!? Did some fronts today and they were killing my delts. Tried the strap way for the first time...I don't know how I feel about this. I need bigger shoulders I guess
You probably didn't have the bar in the correct place. You may have had it to far out in front which would be uncomfortable. Did you feel like the bar was going to choke you?
