Pal, I’m 6 ft tall with hair, two things you are not. By the way next time you use my stepladder bring it back.
Most of what I read was garbage.
Unless we had a squad full of world record holding power lifters, something was off.
Anyone who's done front squats knows how difficult they are to do right.
You can't overload the bar and cheat.
They take a lot of practice, discipline and really do help build strength and balance.
I hardly do back squats anymore. Too hard on the ole lumbar. I've switched to most doing front squats. It took awhile to really master the form and even longer before I could start putting up heavier weights.
I only started doing them about six months ago and I'm still in the 'Took a while' mode.
It's gone from feeling completely unnatural and awkward to doable and I don't feel like I'm going to fall forward anymore. I've been moving away from heavy back squats over the last four or five years, and front squats are a great replacement.
Watching that video is so much better than the 180lb wideouts doing 405lb half cheat squats and I think it will pay dividends this fall. Some of those dudes doing legit 315 front squats? Man. If they just started doing them this session, they're picking it up fast.
Pal, do you really think anyone gives a squat about your conditioning?
Man I could watch squats all day.
