[quote=Anonymous]I just can’t take getting injured from back squats anymore. I just got over yet another disc injury from doing back squats and was out for 9 weeks. The pain from hurting your lower back after doing back squats is just no longer worth it. Yes, obviously if you use good form you shouldn’t get injured. But all it takes is one bad rep, a minor mistake if you slip a little bit, or you just have a bad day of lifting to get seriously injured doing squats. I’ve lifted for quite a while and you can do good reps 99.9% of the time, but if you do one rep with a mistake kiss your spine goodbye. I think I am just permanently done back squats due to my age at this point. That being said, I’ve never actually dabbled with front squats. They seem a lot safer because they use smaller loads and are more upright, greatly reducing the forces on your lower back. Anyone else see very good gains strictly doing front squats only? [/quote]
