I always get back pain the day after doing back squats or conventional deadlift no matter how light i go trying to keep perfect form.
I switched to sumo and front squats and now everything is ok.

>Are all you that autistic?
It's more that I have shit wrist flexability. I can't do the grip as pictured.
Doing it cross armed fails once the weight is more than 1lmaoplate
bar goes on back for me
>>36928967
you did well capping that my man, thanks for the chuckle
>>36928972
I do lmao1.5 pl8(i just switched to front squats pls dont jusge me) with crossed arms easily.
The key is to keep your elbows high and your core tight. The reason it probably fails for you is because you dont have the core strength.
With a clean grip you really shouldnt be using your wrists that much. You still use your core just like when you cross your arms.
>>36928972
The guy in the picture can't do the grip as pictured.
Hilarious that anyone would publish that as some sort of example. It's utter shit.
Look at the bar on the right: it's being entirely supported by his palms. The bar has absolutely no contact with his front delts.
There's a reason why he's using the babiest of babby weight: anything more than 95 lbs and he'd hurt himself.
Just hypothetically, what about squatting with a 300lb vest on?
>>36928719
My wrists hurt just looking at that picture
>>36929050
What exactly are you asking?
>>36929050
Autism over 9000.
Also, depending on how it's loaded it could be more of a hack squat.
>>36929050
record it and post it online
>>36929088
devilish
>>36929067
In comparison to front and back squats, how effective would it be, strong/weak points etc.
>>36929106
How would you even get on a 300lb vest?
>>36929163
>put it on without weight
>gymbro adds weight
Or something like that, I don't fucking know. It's beside the point.
>>36929190
It probably wont be much different for your legs than squatting a 300 lb barbell.
Core activation will ge different but your core would still be utilized.
Overall not a bad idea.

>I always get back pain the day after doing back squats or conventional deadlift
Isn't this supposes to happen? You're exercising your lower back muscles
>torso is leaned forward and stopping at parallel
This is the worst front squat I have seen.
Is front squatting easier for tall / long-legged people? It seems that way to me but I've never done it.
Fuck it, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
>>36931951
It tends to be harder, because you need a hell of a lot of mobility to pull it off.
whats a good front squat?
been lifting for about a month (calisthenics for abt a year before though) and i can front squat 80kg for 5. is that decent for a beginner?
>>36931326
why do you think he's stopping at parallel
>>36928719
I fucking love front squats, feels so much more natural to squat
I just feel like they dont do shit for me compared to back squats
>>36928719
I love front squats. But that faggot on the picture has never done one in his entire life.
>>36932008
add more weight then
>>36928719
I actually can't perform front squats. I'm simply not flexible enough to keep as straight of a back as this excercise demands while descending.
>>36928719
that's horribleform btw
>>36931294
You're not supposed to feel outright pain. If you do, you did something wrong.
DOMS are different, but you shouldn't feel those anymore after a few workouts.
Because i can squat 180kg x5 on backsquats. I can barely do 120 front. They kill my core and i have trouble breathing when going heavy

going from a 135lb deadlift to a fucking 585lb deadlift in only 4 months is insanely good progress.
its not a bodybuilding routine and rip never said it was. its for strength without regard for anything else and holy fuck, zach the memester is a good example for the program's effectiveness.

That guy doesn't have over developed legs, he has a under developed upperbody. Give him a year on a more top orientated program and he will come out looking better and be stronger than any fag-split. I see so many noobs at my gym still pushing the same weight as they did 6 months ago, getting a good base is essential to getting fast gains, i was one of them at one point.
>>36932772
>That guy doesn't have over developed legs
lel, with his frame, he's legs are already over the limit of what looks good. To balance out his body, he'd need to to stop all leg training and only do upper body, while roiding. That's how unbalanced his physique is.
>>36932498
this is clearly fake. how would he nearly double his bodyweight in 4 days?

more estrogen = less upper body strength
milk = increased estrogen levels
high bf% = increased estrogen levels
This is why you never should bulk above 15% bf or drink milk (aka. liquid estrogen)
you'll see many fat powerlifters/weightlifters, but remember that they are roiding hard, to compensate for the increased estrogen levels being fat gives you

the number might be wrong, but that guy did SS and ended up like that.
>>36933956
he might have done the workouts but he didnt do SS. youre supposed to be 15-20 bf% at the end of SS
and no one benches 1plate after a proper LP

you're a fucking moron, have you EVER walked up stairs, or does your mum carry you out of her basement?
I'm somewhat tall and have shit flexibility/mobility/balance.
It kills my wrist and I always fall over doing front squats. I'll take back squats any day
>>36928719
Front squats just hold you back from your full potential. I squat 100kg and no way could I hold 100kg as a front squat
I only do deep front squats like these. no back pain anymore.
saw a guy lifting 4pl8 on back squat easily, next time he was stuggling with 1.5pl8 front squat
>>36935799
wrong, but nice, pic
Don't have enough ankle mobility for proper front squats desu

>>36935314
Front squats hit pretty much all the same muscles as back squats, with a lower weight.
If you're squatting correctly, you should be able to front squat 85kg (i.e. 85% of your back squat) without issue. If you can't, there's something wrong with your squat technique and you should be dropping the weight down a bit or doing front/zercher squats to improve it.

I feel the only reason I wouldn't be able to is because my arms wouldn't be able to hold the weight of it.
At least with back squats I know that 100kg is the most weight I can do
>>36932008
>>36932039
Front squats are limited by thoriac extension strength, whereas back squats tend to be limited by lumbar and quad extension strength.
you have a limit to how heavy you can load front squats and unless you have an extremely strong thoriac spine, you're usually not going to be able to place the same stress on your body a as back squat.
Not ripping on front squats, I oly lift and live by them, but they can have significant limitations.
>>36936674
your arms don't hold the weight
>>36936839
I'd like to say you're correct, but your arms literally hold the weight during a front squat
>>36937223
they hold it in place but they don't hold the weight of the weight
>tfw don't have the wrist mobility to do front squats the oly way
>>36937299
They must hold some weight, unless the guy in OPs image is doing it wrong?
>>36937405
the guy in OPs image is doing it way fucking wrong
if you read the thread people pointed it out right away
>>36937405
He's doing it 100% wrong
>>36937405
An ideal front squat doesn't involve the arms to any real degree.
Zerchers though, whoah boy.
