Front Squats..

[bearrito22]

I like the zerchers much better than normal front squats as well. They also help build my erectors a little, which is good for my deadlift.

I hope to front squat 412 in the next month.

damn bro sorry bout that..would you say they were harder on your knees than reg squats?

They will wear them pretty good. I think it was just a freak injury that happened. I NEVER went heavy on them, always trying to keep my form. Im a horrible person to ask about parallel. I rarely hit parallel on squats, just above. Sorry, i just dont have the flexibility in my knees. Every now and again i will hit parallel, but it is by accident because it hurts to damn much.

good luck with em. I may try them again someday, but im not a real fan of legs. So i try to get in and get the hell out of the gym on leg days.

im rediscovering them after a long layoff b/c of a knee injury from hockey!! Going to do it smart and slowly work my way up with the weights and focusing on form first..hope i can develop some huge tree trunks lol!!

i cant imagine that it would be a problem for you, lol.

I am doing front squats from time to time b/c I heard (though I couldn't swear I experienced it) it puts less strain on your lower back (than regular squat)
