Start PHUL 3 weeks ago

well that's pretty much the same except you're using hands for extra support, just do whatever is more comfortable for you

also this but it's very minor and you can swap sides to avoid that

Appreciate it fellas. I'll give it a shot going forward, and try to work on my mobility issues so I can use a clean grip somewhere down the line.

people struggle with squats cause they dont to wide enough stance, so front squats help them with that usual problem weight going forward and on toes too much.

that would suite most people and naturally put themselves in a correct form. same with deadlifts. bench also many would do better widest possible grip.

i dont even lift anymore but just some quick n easy tips and thoughts the better lifters know

>I don't even lift anymore
Why even live

do you do front squats after you do regular squats or have you completely replaced them with front squats?

>i dont even lift anymore
kys normie

You do them as accessory, so after squats or on deadlift day.

I don't really like them because they're uncomfortable as fuck, but I do them twice a week anyway. Not sure if I do them properly

I follow exactly this program

muscleandstrength.com/workouts/phul-workout

except I added OHP as an exercise on upper hypertrophy day (really want to improve my OHP)

the regular squats are on lower power day and the front squats are on lower hypertrophy day. I do 3x8 of front squats and 3x5 of regular squats.

Front squats are the shit. I do them along with trap bar deadlifts. Occasionally I'll throw in some manageable high bar paused squats to show off for the brap hogs. It's all you need breh.

Got any form tips for paused and front squats?

Also try sumo stance front squats if you want to develop glutes.

Ah man, I'd say just that breathing is key. Front squats have a tendency to pull people forward. You want a really good starting position. Make a platform where the bar meets your shoulders/clavicle area.

When you're coming up especially... imagine you have 2 chains on your elbows hoisting you up. You have to keep your elbows up high and really let the bar rest naturally where it feels comfortable. Really breath and stay tight and have erect posture.

For paused squats it's pretty much the same thing. Do a manageable weight. Who gives a fuck what it is. I like to squeeze my glutes before I descend it kind of gets me aligned and sets the motion up for the squat. When you're in the hole stay strong. Keep the air in your belly and brace. When you shoot up do it with a fury.

They feel amazing. Again, do a weight that is manageable. You'll feel it the next day.

Ill have to check out sumo stance front squats.

Rest the weight on your delts, not your fingers.
Your fingers should still contact and wrap around the bar to jam it into place on your delts, there should be tension as if they are support struts, and the bar rests in the groove between your delts and shoulders.

Front Squats are amazing, I really feel it in my quads and core. I can't front squat nearly as much as I can back squat though is that normal?

Generally I think people usually throw around it should be 75-80% of your back squat.

It's not that uncommon. A 'good' ratio for front squats is ~85% of your high bar squat, assuming similar depth.

thanks brehs

Help lads
I got a 355 backsquat for reps and a 265 frontsquat for reps
However recently my wrists have been killing me during front squats. I do a standard olympic grip with only 3 fingers on the bar.

I use only two fingers under the bar.

Front squats are damn good.

Good for posture, training quads, improving the proper squat

The golden leg workout is low bar squat, then front squat, then stiff leg deadlift.

I'd like to do phul but I dont like how youre limited to acessory lifts
I want to focus on traps for example but theres no way to do more than rack pulls directly for example
same goes for shoulders, I like to do OHP but also have lateral raises and face pulls

>low bar squat
honestly would rather do cleans or clean variations rather than low bar squatting.
