You get bigger thighs if you lift bigger numbers. Front squat doesn't allow you to push big numbers. So I'd say no, stick to HB.

Fuck, that's impressive.

I don't know why but front squats make me run out of air so quickly. I can't hold the valsava during the whole rep, have to let the air go a bit during the way up, so having to breath every rep makes me feel like I'm out of air after 5-6 reps.

Short answer yes.

Long answer, they are more quad dominant. Back Squat shifts a little of the focus on gluten and hams, which is typically useless outside of powerlifting because Deadlifts should be your main focus for those areas

If you are into powerlifting and strength training, do low bar squats.

If bodybuilding, do high bar squats or front squats.

In my opinion, for bodybuilding purposes, choose high bar over front squats, you will be able to push more weight, hit the quads hard, but still get some stress on your posterior chain. Front squats are awkward and annoying in my opinion.

Are front squats better for tall people than back squats?

I'm 6'5" and I mostly do highbar back squats, and I tried maxing out with a lowbar and pulled my back. My legs are just too long to go parallel without fucking my back using lowbar. Would front squats be a better alternative to back squats?

I weigh about 205lbs right now, last time I front squatted, which was like 2 months ago, I got 185lbs, but I've been training pretty hard since then. I can deadlift 315x2.

I usually like to do narrow stance squats, but I might try front squats to see how they feel next leg day.

Which is part of why it's inferior. It's not uncommon for the upper back to give out before the legs do, especially as you get stromger.

For bb purposes like OP wants I don't think it's that much of an issue though, but yeah there's a reason front squatting isn't used in weightlifting competitions.

I did front squats yesterday and today I have a weird kind of DOMS in my outer quads that I've never had before. What's happening? Send help.

Front squats are GOAT for hypertrophy work. Abs and quads all in one. You can do lunges and leg curls for hamstrings and glutes.

Somewhat related how long until front squats stop hurting hands/delts?

For reference the most I've tried is only 205 for 5 reps which wasn't hard but it hurt enough that I gave up and just did HB for my actual workout

Never. My delts are always sore the day after. Just something you gotta live with. You can use a squat pad or towel around the bar.

Why not lowbar? You can lift bigger numbers if you meme-squat like that

No. You're moving less weight for more effort.
To grow your quads and strengthen your back it's great, but for growing your entire leg and ass you can't beat back squats.

Even if you're moving less, it puts more strain on the quads than a back squat. But in the end, the difference between a front squat is probably negligible for someone who just lifts for the looks and you should just do whichever you like.

I mostly do front squats now but that's just because I prefer them and I have deadlifts for the posterior chain and do hamstring curls and lunges for hams and glutes.

I think high bar back squat is better if you have the right body type and good hip and ankle mobility. But if you're tall or have a bad back, you can safely front squat 3x a week at very high volumes with less risk of back injury.

Also, low bar is pretty shit for quad development.

I'm 6'5 and my core is weaker than I'd like. You don't have to always do back squats, but to completely leave out back squatting means you're depriving yourself of an excellent way of working your entire core and lower body.

The front squat hits the core WAY harder than a back squat. If you're struggling with your core on back squats, give front squats a go for a while and it'll be up to par in no time.

You really feel the core working on a front squat compared to a back squat. My abs were sore the first day after doing front squats.

I skip lunges entirely. I go straight to Romanian Deadlifts after Front Squats, followed by some high rep leg curls... the pump is insane after that.

Also, I get sharp tailbone pain during lunges... am I fucking up or fucked up?

If your core is weak in a front squat, you will dump the bar. If your core is weak in a back squat, you will squat morning the bar and put high shearing forces on your lumbar spine.

If you're worried about your core, use an ab wheel.

Your probably not still here but i followed a few different programs. Always kept front squats at 3x3 and back squats at 3x5 or 5x5. Squatted (front or back or both) at least 3-4 times per week

front squats are more limited by upper back strength, which can make it difficult to do high-rep sets
but they do allow roughly the same quadriceps activity as back squats, while having lower compressive forces on the knees

conclusion: do both
