Coincidentally I do all 3 of those lifts, and didn't really put any thought as to how front squats can be a deadlift accessory lift. Makes sense though. I have just been doing front squats to take it easy on my back so I can save it for deadlifts. Good shit. 🤙
I love doing front squats and I personally like it (I guess it's an ego thing) because not a lot of people at my commercial gym ever do do them and when there is someone that can, very few of them do more than 95. Appreciate the breakdown on it too, didn't really know that the FS can help with the push-pull aspect that largely and I have real bad habit of lifting my pelvis like you mentioned. I too can attest to a hella sore mid-back after FS sessions, and actually it's pretty uncomfortable at times lol. I also have a bad left knee and FS doesn't affect it as much as back squats so it's a decent alternative.
Front squats are a full-body challenge. They're a test of mobility and strength in a number of areas. Good stuff 👍. If you're looking for a squat variation to train quads specifically with as light of a weight as possible to potentially reduce knee pain, goblet squats for 20 paused reps with as much weight as possible is pretty gentle on the joints and brutal on the muscle.
I feel like we must got of dope and super useful info for free, I realized so many things from listening to this. lmao the "cha cha cha" adjustments. merci Barton
Bart’s looking real good in that T-Shirt ngl. I really liked the way Chris Duffin explained the deadlift not being a push or a pull movement but a “hip wedge” movement where you wedge your hip between the ground and weight 😂
I've seen and heard a number of explanations for deadlift cues. I think it's fine for people to have different mental approaches to similar mechanical operations. The Duffin example was definitely interesting.
I see where you're coming from. I'll swap out my main variation (conventional deadlift) for hex bar, sumo or Romanian deadlift when I want to bolster it without overtraining the exact movement.
I wonder if bart tried the glute ham raise. I used to have overpowered low back from lowbar squatting x3 a week and weak hammies that during the last reps of a deadlift set. My hips shoot up immediately and it becomes all back
These lifts will help sumo pullers too, particularly the front squats. For a sumo specialist I would recommend focusing on the quads, glutes, hip abductors and hip adductors with your accessories. Here are some ideas: 20 rep goblet squat with as much weight as possible is great for quad hypertrophy. Barbell glute bridges and/or hip thrusts with big weight for 6-8 reps is great for glute strength and hypertrophy. If you have access to a hip adductor/abductor machine at a gym they are the simplest way to isolate and attack those muscle groups for hypertrophy. Somewhere from 6-20 reps with the most weight possible would probably be best for that. If you don't have access to one of those lovely machines I would suggest your choice of bilateral and unilateral banded clamshells. Concentric bringing the leg in trains adductors and concentric bringing the leg out trains abductors. Hope this helps!
SSB squats are dope but they don't mimic the mid back training of the front squat that he's mentioning here. If you can't manage a front squat due to wrist mobility issues but want something similar, give Zercher squats a try. It's a front-loaded barbell squat in held in the crook of your elbows. Once you toughen your inner elbow tendons you can load it almost as heavy as you would a traditional back squat. I train it in the 1-20 rep range. I'll pick one specific target number for a session typically. 8 rep sets are good. If you do that I'm sure you'll notice some full back stimulus.
Oh yeah, I'm kinda ranting about them in this comment section but goblet squats may have some similarities to the front squat in terms of mid back involvement since you have to hold the weight up and in front of yourself. You'd have to use a big dumbbell to really notice that effect though.
Damn Bart these are some solid ass advice and prefect explaination of how and why. Definitely saving this video
That J Boog in the background!! Classic!!
bro took one too many scoops of pre 💀
High energy.
I can attest to the soreness of the mid-back after Front Squats. Great tips. Appreciate the content. Righteous with the JBoog in the background.
It's real, dog.
Excellent recommendations, thank you!
Amazing information that I will definitely follow starting tomorrow and the sound effects are funny as heck!!!!! Hahahaha

The quad training of the front squat is helpful too.

I feel light up the mid spinal erectors and lower anterior abs so much also
This is super helpful, thank you!

Excellent video Bro... Great explanation of the accessories....
Building that Ta-TAAA 🤣 Sick info.
Using "ta-TA" as a new cue during deadlifts. Thanks!
You had me at Te Tao:) Good videos. First time here.
Wow! Thanks so much for these! And I love Bart's descriptions 😆
Awesome tips man, thanks for this vid
Certainly wasn’t me setting an alarm for 7pst tonight and hard refreshing the BB website thinking the drop happened 😂
Hey Bart what shoes do you have on for deadlifts?
the best accessory for deadlifts is more deadlifts :)
I see where you're coming from. I'll swap out my main variation (conventional deadlift) for hex bar, sumo or Romanian deadlift when I want to bolster it without overtraining the exact movement.
I will add box jumps to this. Great to build explosive power on glutes
Great advice to go for front squat. With stronger quads you won't round your back.
Facts
smart man
I wonder if bart tried the glute ham raise. I used to have overpowered low back from lowbar squatting x3 a week and weak hammies that during the last reps of a deadlift set. My hips shoot up immediately and it becomes all back
Now that you're in vegas, where do you cut your hair?
leg press for me. I like using the same deadlift stance as well
Quad hypertrophy definitely benefits
the deadlift. Leg press is good for that. It's also a good way to acclimate to heavy weight on your legs.
I love front squats more than back squats
does it also help sumo pullers??

Damn 😢 the homie left out the classic RDL’s
RDLs are great. I've found that I enjoy dumbbell RDLs quite a bit.
Bart since I don’t have the wrist Mobility for a front squat.. does the SSB mimic or can I have the same benefit as a
Front squat
