Front Squats made easier...

[JOKER47]

Most definately do. They also hit your abs quite a bit. How deep do you go with them?

Ass-to-heels...Just like my back squats.

You guys might also want to try doing front squats with straps (so you don't need to lug around vice grips and they're not so damaging on the bar). Just wrap them around the bar and hold onto the strap (you might want to tie a knot at the end of the strap to prevent slipping). This was the only method I was able to do for a few reps. However, the bar still bothers my delts too much for me to continue with front squats...

That is a pretty good idea man...the only thing that would bother me about that is that the vice grips also allow me to push the bar into me and hold it there better. The straps would not allow that.

I don't need these things

i would like to do front squats but i do not have enough flexibility to even hold the bar like that. when i hold it for front squats, its on my chest with my elbows almost tucked. thats how bad my flexibility in my arms is. however, i can almost do the splits so maybe i'm just fat. lol

what do you think of hack squats? productive?

 

[b fold the truth]

I think that hacks are productvie. I used to do them all the time and everytime I did legs with Night Fly at her gym I would always do some sets of hacks...rock bottom...till the machine bottomed out.

You don't get the hip and back work with hacks that you do with front squats...a machine is never as good as free weights...
