I can practically assure you’re not front squatting enough or in any way. For some reason, you don’t see a lot of gym goers (particularly bodybuilders) making use of this time-tested workout.

Crossfit has gone miles and miles towards bringing it back, but if you’re not doing cross fit – it’s most likely not even on your radar.

This is a shame because if you want to achieve maximum strength and power build awesome quads sculpt a killer six-pack and save your “tweaked” lower back then you’re going to appreciate the front squat.

Here’s a couple of reasons why you have to squat for a lean, hard, athletic physique:

1. Get Enhanced Quads – The front squat is an EXCELLENT movement to get bigger, stronger quads-most likely the greatest workout there is. Since you’re position is more vertical, it highlights the quads more.

2. Get Stronger, More Cut Abs (Core) – Because you’re holding the weight in front of your body, and you must remain upright your entire core gets a great workout trying to stabilize the weight and keep you upright. If you find you’re leaning forward a lot when you back squat, you’ll quickly get stronger and fix this problem if you switch to front squats for a while.

Front squats aren’t just smashing in creating the body of your dreams either! They’re also certainly good at just making you more fit and keeping you more in good physical shape. What good is looking strong if you should give up your health in the process?

Here’s the five more reasons why you have to Front Squat for better well-being:

1. Makes Your Other Lifts Better – Because the bar is placed ahead of you, on your shoulders, the front squat is enormously like other exercises and strengthens the “base” of those lifts/presses. Power Cleans, Overhead Presses, Overhead Squats, and so on all share the same “starting” position as the front squat. Getting stronger and more comfortable with Front Squats will help you in those exercises as well.

2. Bad Form Gets Self-Corrected – If you’re back squatting with bad form you can wrap up the exercise at the cost of causing harm to yourself. The advantage about front squats is the form is self correcting: If you’re not straight enough you’ll drop the bar if you’re not holding the bar properly you’ll drop it if you don’t keep your elbows up you’ll drop it. It’s a training that pretty much forces your form to be smashing.

3. Less Weight – When all is said and done, if you can defy your body with less weight (because you’re doing a harder training) then it is safer. Because the Front Squat is harder than Back Squats you won’t be able to lift as much weight. Which means a reduced amount of spinal compression.

4. More Natural Spine Position – You’re more upright with the front squat your spine is in a more balanced “straight” position. This combined with the fact you’re lifting a smaller amount of weight is beneficial for your spine in time.

5. Lower Back Approved – Most people have lower back problems and back squats exacerbate these conditions. But because your upper body is usually vertical (instead of leaning forward like in a back squat) there’s a lesser amount of force on your lower back. I started front squatting after I hurt my lower back.
