I think Bodyworks did a post a while ago about how Front Squatting had produced better results than back squatting... Whats everyones thoughts on ATG squatting...? I'm getting conflicting information on ligament stress on ATG squats... |

If your not a competior why risk it for that tiny little bit more stimulation. Not worth it in my opinion.  ______________________ Opinions are like as*holes.......Everybody has one |

IMO it is mate, parallel is enough for growth, so i dont think its worth the risk to the average trainer to go any deeper just for the tinyest bit more stimulation. Front squats are definately effective too and can stress the quads more directly. Although i find them a bit tricky ______________________ Opinions are like as*holes.......Everybody has one |

I'm serious, I close my eyes, unlock and feel the tension in my quads. I go down until I feel the tension move from my quads to my hips and then go back up again, after all I'm squatting for big Quads not a big ass!! Works for everyone I train as well.  ______________________ APPLIED KNOWLEDGE, IS POWER!!! The real challenge is to be yourself in a world that wants you to be someone else!! www.rippedglutes.net |

Don't think I can close my eyes tho - I get really psyched when doing squats and deads and prob look like a mad man to all and sundry - my eyes are normally burning a hole in the back wall of the gym (or at least attempting to). I remember the bit about the tension moving to the hips - I'm sure my ass has got bigger from squats! |

hence the reason i find front squats to be superior. still gotta do a full deep squat though, no matter where the bar sits. | |
