I know more about US history and politics than you ever will, you're just freeloading off what has been established well before.

Anyway back to back squats.

I'd venture to say that the front squat is superior for bodybuilding purposes as it puts more emphasis on your quads, and looks bad ass when you do it. Back squats are needed for overall lower body thickness though, so you can't go wrong with either. Do both sucka.

Back squats over emphasise the glutes & thighs?

I don't get how back squats get so much love and smith front squats so much hate on a bodybuilding forum.

Over emphasize? No. Just work the lower body differently. And smith front squats seem awkward and needless. Do it with a barbell so you don't look like a retarded pussy

Because then you're wasting effort balancing the barbell.

BRB doing 3000 crunches a day instead of just using a barbell

Then you're out of your natural ROM, and out of your groove, and out of your mind. Also, why do fronts on a smith machine when you could just do hack machine squats instead?

10 for the lower body

for lower body its #1. no amount of leg curls, leg extensions or other phaggy **** can compare to atg squats 3x a week.

brb front squats
brb hack squats
brb leg press
brb

































































































all ****tier than back squats

i periodically stopped squatting for 2 months now do to quad imbalances which in turn are giving me knee issues

working out now has no meaning without squats

ive also noticed a massive drop in quad size even though im still doing leg press and extensions...etc

moral of the story....''if you dont squat you aint squat'' - axel rose

leg press is potentially even worse for your spine

inb4 raging broscientists.

Prefer front squats than back personally, bigger quads not bigger glutes

Back squats, deadlifts, and bench press are the 3 big strength building excercises. For bodybuilding you can't go wrong with back squats, but to really get results going deeper beyond parallel is important.

You think tom platz skipped out on squats?
