    An important tip he didn't mention is:
    Fill your lungs with air and brace your abs to avoid arching of your back.

      While going down? And let the air out while going up?

      @Sophia.L64 5 років тому +34

      @@dhru325 I think your supposed to wait until ~half way up to exhale (not an expert, however). It is my understanding that the breath of air helps stabilize your back, so you should wait until you have completed the most difficult part of the movement (that has the most potential for failure in form), which for most people probably is at the bottom or "hole".

    • @si858
      @si858 5 років тому +33

      Its called intra-abdominal pressure. Its pretty much standard in any major compund lift during the eccentric phase of the lift.
      Fill your stomach and lungs with air to create pressure which will help keep your spine straight. If your stomach is not tight and full of air, its a weak point.
      Imagine deadlifting with no air in your stomach.

      @@dhru325 No! Don't ever inhale while going down on a Squat.
      Before you should go down, you already should have pressure in your stomach.
      Inhale as much air as you can into your stomach, then flex your abs as hard as possible (imagine someone will punch you in your stomach), then start going down.
      You can either breath out after ~50% percent of the way up, after the end of each rep, or after every 2-3 reps.
      Watch Brian Alsruhs breathing and bracing tutorial for more information.
      Ever since I incorporated his Squat tips can I Squat lower back pain free. I also could add like 5 pounds extra just because of this breathing method.

      Also left out
      - the difference between this movement and regular back squats is front squat is more quad dominant where back squat is more glute dominant
      - and the secondary part of this movement is anti extension of the lower back.
      Obviously the guy has some lifting experience but he and several others don’t seem to have a more extensive education in body mechanics which would help people train more intelligently rather than being just typical gym bros.

    Call me crazy but I train with both the back and front squats. I love the results. My quads are starting to get more vascular and veiny. I'll be 60 this September and I still train heavy in the squat. Even in the front squat. I am just surprised that the bar in your throat isn't mentioned. In the front squat it makes the move challenging being in your throat. But I still train with the front squat. I'm not going to punk out because of a little discomfort.

      Facts. It's really a tough move. I did the front squat today following hack squats ( light warm up weight ), and back squats. I did 185 on the front squats. It was my first trying them. You definitely gotta work through the discomfort. But it puts hair on your chest!

    It took me time to get my wrists used to it, but it really is worth the trouble, they do hit the quads much better, especially if your gym has no fancy machines for legs, this is the only free weight exercise that can give you that vertical angle needed to truly hit the quads. Training only with regular squats only ends up giving you that overgrown ass that just doesnt look good if the quads are lacking... also heel raised are a good option to change the angle if the back so to put more strain on the quads

    front squats are solid for building your legs and hitting the quads more as well. but know to that if you cant cup your hands under the bar because you don't have the flexibility in your wrists? then you can also tie straps to the bar and hold those OR you can put the bear across your chest and hold it in place by crossing your arms. doing this also takes some of the load off your back as well.
