is it a fact front squats hit the glutes less than back squats?

So what you do for quads dude, leg press?

i do back squats, mostly low bar.  it's the only form of squat that has been consistently not-super-uncomfortable over the years.  my squat looks kind of like layne nortons.  people can laugh, but if they had to use my body, they wouldn't be able to do any better.  i've tried EVERYTHING, stretching, front squats, mobility work, shoes, wraps, belt, various squat styles, tinkering with form for years and years... after ten years, i think it just wasn't meant to be.  leg press is actually pretty uncomfortable and awkward too, not really any better.  i think it's some sort of structural/nerve problem i'll probably never be able to figure out.

Well you have figured it out, never do anything that causes pain, dropping the bar down is what works for you then continue with those until you can change.

protip dont take -edit- 'questionable' training advice on getbig

I've FS'd 495 atg and the key to upper back stability is scapular work, and lots of it before you start FSing.... and stretch the heck out of the pecs and shoulders and warm up the RC's. Then you will be able to keep your elbows up and not risk losing the lift. If you lose that thoracic stability then you are fucked

but yeah, never do a 'grinder' or to failure rep on FS

very useful tips here, thanks

i've done a lot of grinders in the past and felt my upper back rounding, i was lucky to escape without injuries

They are worth every penny.  I can tell a huge difference in my form when i use my weightlifting shoes.  My knees and hips never hurt now that i have been using them consistantly for a few years.  I only use them for squats and power cleans.  You can get a much better drive out of the hole with these shoes.  In just a few weeks my front squat numbers went up and the movement felt more natural.

yeah they're pretty awesome
never lifted without them
