[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting - I didn’t know what those were called. I’ve been doing back squats only but recently started noticing people doing more front squats. Will have to try.[/quote] You will notice especially at first that front squats can cause considerable stress on the wrists and elbows.[/quote] Not if you situate the bar correctly. It goes in the notch between collarbone and deltoid on both sides. Wrists are straight. Elbows are high up—the height of the bar—but not weight-bearing. However, I think OP could cut weight by 10% on back squats and likely continue full squatting for decades without harm. It’s true that the form has to be excellent at the far ends of weight capacity. -25 yr squatter, now 50 yo[/quote]
