7 Benefits of the Front Squat

[stronglifts]

you mis-understood me. Your elbows are not positioned in front of you, they are positioned in back of you, but you pull forward with your elbows.

you don't do a shoulder shrug exercise while squatting stupid! you contract your traps and hold the contraction through out squatting.

you do this because it supports the bar better and incorporates your core much more efficiently.

and how many athletes have you trained ??? and how do you know what is solid technique and what isn't ??

oh thats right, you bought a book called "starting strength" so you think your a pro now.

p.s. NEVER HEARD OF A CLEAN GRIP - NEVER HEARD OF A CROSS ARM GRIP

1) I understood you well. You advise to pull the elbows forward. As I wrote previously, this will put the weight on the wrists/elbows & lead to tendinitis. Don't believe: put some serious weight on the bar for a few weeks & report back.

2) I'm not giving you, or anybody else, this advice as a subject to argue about. Take it or reject it. Time will tell you what is right.

After about 3reps the bar starts to slide down my back. My P.L friend said the same things. Just can't get it yet

Try the tips I gave you, this should fix it.

On the hyperextending: Front Squat would be the best replacement for the Back Squat. Try them some day, they are tough.

CLEARLY, DB, IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT, IT'S STUPID AND/OR DOESN'T EXIST.

also, anyone who would talk about it is stupid, and you should tell them how stupid they are. often. also, be sure to wander into this forum occasionally and begin insulting someone who has been establishing his credentials with numerous posts that WBA, effort and others say 'well, can't disagree with any of that.'

Stronglifts is far from stupid.

Consider this Drum&Bass if you've never heard of a certain grip maybe you need to get a grip and realize your still just a novice trying to come off as more advanced or just lazy where you haven't read and experienced all there is that this sport has to offer.

Are you an adult weight training for life and fitness and to help others along the way or just a punk weightlifting for strife.

Name calling has no place in this sport and you need to come down off your high horse. Trying to belittle Stronglifts... someone who is more than qualified to offer his advice and opinions on weight training and only trying to help others is not justified.
