Good bbing squats bhanks.  You should really get on blood pressure medications though, before you go out like Don Youngblood

Absolutely - busting balls is one thing, but get a script for something to pull those numbers down!!

And not for the first time :-* ;D

Agreed.  My awful grammar notwithstanding LOL

One of the less talked about elements of free weight training is the satisfaction you can derive by moving from the 'shaky as fuck' beginnings, to the smooth, controlled and (feeling) powerful phase when you've got the hang of it after a while.  (Bro Science warning)  Front squats really helped me to 'feel' the muscle on the front of the thigh, whereas squats I felt all around the leg...

Prefer front squat as well. More emphasis on the quads and less on growing a table for an ass.

Samesies. Always felt front squats more. 6 feet tall with proportionally longer legs made back squats always feel unnatural. Felt like I was squatting like Layne “Good Morning” Norton

I've always preferred front squats.

With long legs it's hard to get good depth with a back squat.

Full depth front squats will build massive legs.

Was never a strong squatter despite short legs but prioritise form and depth over weigh always work up to around 2 and half plates per side for Olympic style paused reps


This is a squat!! Nice!

Ok I know they are a little high the squat rack with the mirror was taken so couldnt really tell. Also just switched to 275 for working sets last week. Depth and form will improve as I will stay here for a bit. Pussies will just criticize real men will post there own. Regardless this is 275x8

I personally like squats but not super heavy.  I get better results with higher reps ,
Medium weights

Brians got the right idea.

Keep squatting a little less weight, you will get better at squatting.
Also, great job Henda..
Good job, gentlemen.
Henda's squat is very deep, Olympic lifting levels.

Thanks guys

Hankins video didn’t work for me but I don’t squat so any squats are better than mine haha. Hendas squats look very deep, if I did that I would be stuck in the hole. Heavy weight cook, impressive.  Hope you are feeling better Henda.

I do bodyweight squat but that’s all I can handle haha as far as squats go.

Thanks mate getting better can’t wait to get out of hospital and back to normal doing fuck all every day is driving me mad haga

Dougs explanations always make so much sense.

I have always said your low back will blow before you have got anywhere near fully stressing your quads in a squat.
