Anyone prefer front squats to regular?

I know they emphasize different groups, but front squats just feel more comfortable to me. Must be my girly hamstrings...

Hell no baw. High bar squats for the win.

I hate goblet squats! Squatting into a chair at golden corral FTW!

I don't prefer them, but I seem to be disproportionately better at them than a lot of folks. I also don't hate them like many do. Now, overhead? I'd just as soon never do that again.

We have OH squats today. Not looking forward to it.

I honestly have no clue where on my back I put the bar.

It’s easier to hit depth at the heavier weights on front squat due to bar placement.
I did low bar squats for a while when I competed in powerlifting, but that was a while ago.

I can get better depth with low bar. It is a nice supplemental workout. Really works the lower back more than high bar. I don't do heavy weight though with low bar.

Can't Do them my elbows aren't that Flexible. Hurts like hell.

Front squats are great for atlas stone training

I like SSB squats the most.
Posted on 2/5/18 at 1:26 pm to GEAUXT
I shoot for low, but always end up doing high

Ever tried using straps on front squats?

They work great to lock the bar in especially when going heavy

I only do front squats. Regualar are too hard on my back.

Did a few low yesterday warming up for our heavy set of 3 with 3 second pause. Do not like.
