As in they are much more comfortable with front squats and at the same time there is a smaller difference between the back squat and front squat numbers....

not done front squats in a long time... prefer leg press for quad work.

Front Squats are not a quad exercise.
more focus is on the quads in a front squat than in a back squat.

Thats hard to judge without an EKG study. Squatting is largely hip dominant. I dunno....I feel my Front squats more in my hips and hammies and core than anything else. A shift in the bar positioning shouldn't really bring about such a drastic change in training effect.
im suprised you have never heard about front squats hitting quads. Iv heard it from both bodybuilders and powerlifters in the past...

Yeah but I have never heard it from guys who are actually GOOD at Front Squats saying that. That means I haven't heard of Oly lifters make such claims.

EM- With all due respect, it seems like you miss a lot of gym time because you don't know the schedule, or because you're just too late. Not talking about the holiday weekend either.
Why don't you plan around the hours of your gym? Honestly, if you're missing workouts because your gym closes at X o clock, that's not really a viable excuse because you've been lifting at the same place over a year.
Sorry if this came off a bit harsh. Then again, I do realize you don't drive and can't go to the gym when you please, and even if you can't get to the gym don't you have some weights at home?

EM just needs his motivation back. Thats fine. It takes some time but it will happen. Thats why I am probably the only guy NOT to give you hard time about it lol.....If you are going to train again, you will. Us bullying you into doing that is gay.
ps: I'm not saying Josh is bullying you. I'm just saying that shit will happen when it has to happen. If you have to lift, you will when the time is right when it means as much to you. You have all the time in the world so where's the rush?
