    The front squat is great! I've been neglecting it. The strongest and leanest/athletic I've been is when i did front squats 5 days a week for about 5 months. I need to get back to them!

    I swear, I watch this video every few months and every single time I do I come out of it with a few things I didn't really take into the gym with me. The biggest eye opener for me was in your shoulder press video where you said don't EVER expect to shoulder to press heavy if you can't heavy front squat. That one tip.... changed my entire life man.

    Here I was thinking this was going to be a short instructional clip, god damn have to rebuild my entire front squat warm up routine! It was the only squat I could do comfortably for a long time, but looks like I have to drop a few plates and restructure. Thanks for the clip! Exactly what I have been looking for for a while now.

    This video came just in time for my lower body workout. Your advice on keeping the chin down really made a difference.
    I had watched many tutorials on the front squat but they all said to keep the chin up. Doing it your way helped me keep my upper back straight and made my front squat more stable.
    Thanks Brian! Keep up the good content, it's much appreciated.

    I'm just surprised that you didn't talk about the unracking part.
    This is the part I've always messed up in, until you released the (back)squat cheat sheet. the cues for the unracking helped both my front and my back squat tremendously.

I still can't believe it. I can do front squats now. This is GREAT. I thought there was something wrong with me. The bar placement tips, tucked chin, knees out, knees first not butt. THANK YOU!!

    I suppose I should reintegrate the front squat, I havent done it since I got a rack.
    It WAS my go-to squat for a long time because my solution was to load the bar up on the corner of the deck rail and squat in the driveway! It was always an issue though as I have terrible wrist mobility.

    @snarkyviking9978 6 років тому +2

    Great video! Hope you have a great time at nationals regardless of whether or not you compete. I’m actually wondering if you could touch upon good weight ratios between your four main lifts (like squatting double your overhead press or the like) that indicate a good balance in a future video? Maybe also something on how much you should be able to lift in a variation relative to the main lift so that you’re strong in all areas of the lift and not overcompensating with certain muscle groups? Love your channel and your content and thank you for all you’ve done for my lifting!

    Also Brian your thoughts on front squar vs Olympic hi bar squat. I find that for powerlifters Olympic squat has more carry over because its a direct variation of the low bar back squat
    What do you think

  • @zarnowind
    @zarnowind 6 років тому

    Awesome video! Just help me with this, should the bar rest on your clavicles? I can front squat 110kg for reps, but after the unrack I fell a lot of pain on my clavicle and, If I cant stand the pain, I have to stop the exercise. This has been a pain in the ass, and its not letting me progress on the front squat. Where exactly should the bar be? Should It hit your clavicle? Should It hurt at all? I already tried numerous variations of hand and bar placement, and the only position that dont cause me pain is when the bar is in front of my clavicle, but It feels unstable. I haven't found much information online adressing specifically the bar position in relation to the clavicle. Anyway, any tips? Thanks!

  • @elliotyamamoto38
    @elliotyamamoto38 6 років тому

    Question about conjugate: when you do the variation should you always stick to the one variation e.g if I pick the front squat as a squat variation should I stick to that throughout the program or rotate it to another variation?
