Most people avoid front squats because they’re uncomfortable, technical, or just plain misunderstood. But here’s the truth: they’re one of the most valuable lifts you can do for leg strength, core and upper back strength, and squat mechanics.
In this video, I break down the 3 truths about front squats that every serious lifter should know (especially if you’ve been skipping them!). Today we dispel the disinformation campaign aimed at this lift, from why they’re not just a "suboptimal" back squat, to how they develop unmatched core strength and fix your squat mechanics in real time.
Whether you’re chasing athletic performance, raw strength, or longevity in the gym you need this lift in your arsenal.
