Squatting

[barcaboyz11]

Which is going to produce better results? Back squat ? Or front squatting? Which one will have better effects for muscle growth and strength ?

better is a subjective term

if you want to powerlift and do well in competitions obviously you will need to back squat to get good at it right?

if you are just a normal joe who wants to improve your form and grow bigger legs while also staying healthy then front squats with lower weights are far more effective and smarter than back squats

i only do front squats now. no more back squats for me due to my neck issues

Overall - back squat. Thigh shape - front.

Both. Back squat puts more emphasis on the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. Front squats put more emphasis on the quads

Yeah I feel a bit of both will bring out optimal results!

In strongman training they do both. Overall strength from the back squat and power for overhead pressing events from the front.
