Front squats vs back squats

[cumgreen1]

Which one is better overall ? I can lift more doing a back squat but front squat is way more challenging. WShich do you guys recommend?

front squats and box squats is what i recommend

yes they are harder, but they force you to engage the right muscles and use proper form.

back squats are performed incorrectly by 90%+ of people in the gym. and don't get me started on any PT who has their newb clients doing them. SMH.

Back squats

A good training program will use both and also other variations as well.

Back squats put more emphasis on the glutes and hamstrings. Front squats put more emphasis on the quads

I think front squats more difficult than back squats

imho it's hard to do front squats with large weights. I prefer classic back squats
