That's pretty damn impressive. Out of curiousity, I wonder what is back squat is ?? Surely it's the same, if not more ?!

Personally, I'm a HUGE FAN of front squats. If you train Strongman ( like Chaos ), front squats are THE PREMIER exercise. Why ? Easy ! Most strongman events put BIG emphasis on legs ( I.e - trucks pulls, stone-lifting, tire flipping, etc., etc. ).

And if your Powerlifter, front squats can not only help your squat ( for OBVIOUS reasons

), but also your deadlift. Think about it

When you get to the bottom of a squat what are you doing on the way up ?? Now picture the deadlift ?? There you go ! Lol. In order to be a great lifter, you have got to have technique down. Without good technique ( notice I didn't say " Perfect " or " Great " which is what a person, realistically should have ) :

1 ) You'll sacrifice some poundage for one. It's amazing how one little tweak will help you lift even more.

2 ) There's a greater chance of getting hurt when you get to the heavier poundages.

Anyways, I'm gettin' a little ahead of myself and ranting. My point is this :

Front squats are pretty awesome.

I'm not sure what his best back squat is, my understanding is that he had some sort of accident that tore up his back and makes it painful for him, so he just concentrates on the front squat now.

Front squats rule and a strong mofo however in a thong onstage he will fail.

Backsquats are just regular squats.

Saw Warwick Brant in a strongman comp,they mentioned he held a world record for front squat,he looked like a monster,but for strongman comps he is quite short and didn`t place very highly.

Yes, that is correct. Hence the word " Back " ( referin' to the position of the bar ).

Oh, misread your post. I'm guessing you were asking how much the dude backsquats.

Depends, raw, your frontsquat is usually 80% of your backsquat. But i've seen extreme exceptions of people who could front squat almost as much (>90%) as their backsquat, and people who couldn't frontsquat anything

. The more quad dominant lifters seem to have a relatively stronger frontsquat.

that is a well put together human being as far as structure goes. This guy could be on Mr. O stage in 6 months battling it out with the best of them if he wanted to take up bodybuilding. Kevin Levrone structure on white guy. Pyros also has been known to outrun some NFL running backs..make no mistake about it friends, olympic lifters are the most explosive athletes on the planet. Olympic lifters have been known to outrun world class sprinters in the first 25 yards of the 100meter..thats how powerful they are. LOL bodybuilding is an absolute joke to them. Bodybuilding=lazy endeavor..just sit back and let the drugs do the magic while doing a bullshit 45 minute workout a few times a week lol. Pyros= result of 600lb front squats with no belt or knee wraps for years..twice a day every day!
