I'll drag this thread back..... :pfft:

For all you Oly lifters or Power Lifters do you know my good sites or youtube vids that show good front squat techniques? I'd normally ask someone locally but none at the gym I go to and I'm having trouble breaking a certain weight on my front squat. Feels more like a form issue than strength.

there are better upper body exercises than the benchpress but there is nothing better for the full body than the squat. front squat 120 ATG for 1 rep here haha. back squat is at 150-160 region havent done it in a while since i fucked my knees while straining for a personal record on the squat.

@weener lad

front squats are a full body exercise but the main muscles worked are the quads, glutes and upperback. jump vertically as high as you can and the feet position when you land is the feet position you use to squat. it will be quite narrow and ankle mobility may be an issue. now rest the bar on the delts with the hands keep the bar from rolling off. during the lift you must focus on keeping your elbows high up. now you just squat down. dont think about it and try to keep your legs from buckling in or out, dont flare the knees either. thats basically it.

what is the significance of the knee wrap/support things he is wearing, could it be because he squats a lot and squats are bad for your knees?

Serious??

Support allows for greater weight -> greater muscular stress -> greater strength and growth

Squats are good for the knees.

Still not sure if serious dude

Got to love those pistol squats

Just ignore the undies and have a kettlebell in each hand.

yup thats why, squatting does a lot of damage to the knees, really shouldn't do them

will definitely regret it at 80

squatting doesn't ruin your knees,squatting incorrectly ruins your knees.we are natural squatters but since we sit on chairs all day long we cant squat naturally anymore.Before we had chairs and stuff we could squat down and sit like that fr hours(unless you found a rock or a tree or something) .Hard Laborers and poor people in 3rd world countries still sit like that for hours without any discomfort,even friggin toddlers squat naturally. WE are supposed to be able to squat it's supposed to come naturally to us, NOT being able to squat is unnatural.
