There's always my 3 set quad WO:Regular back squat, ass to grass is the best...no questions asked.
Two ways that i have tried making my squats more intense are doing 20 Rep Squats or, after doing a set of 10 squats, keeping the bar on my back, i bring my feet together (touching) and do 10 quarter squats only engaging the quads. i was skeptical of quarter squats at first, but doing them right after a set of A to G squats is pretty ligit
Compound set with the squats, that's horrendous.There's always my 3 set quad WO:
Set of 6-10 reps of front squat immediately into back squats to failure. Rest 3 minutes and repeat. Keep a trash can and O2 tank close.
That was during my highest times of masochism...or when I was pressed for time. Back in the day, I had thighs/glutes that put 99% of people to shame, but those days have been over for a few years now.Compound set with the squats, that's horrendous.
i feel like front squats put more stress directly on the quads just from the position of the weight, and how it makes you maintain a very upright back position. either way, front or back, its a sick (and occasionally twisted) exercisei still like front squats more. Feels like it works more. Plus you look super cool doing it!
Most effective for what? Total lower-body strength, aesthetics, etc...?What do yous guys think is the most effective form of squat?
i am too retarded to do them...i can only do them on a smith machine. i think its cause i like grabbing the bar all the way out. i think imma start working on fronts just for shits and giggles!i still like front squats more. Feels like it works more. Plus you look super cool doing it!
I used to absolutely hate front squats..
made myself do them...
now I like them lots!

Definately box squats. Wide legged, box squats, tap and go. Try doin 4 sets of 25, it'l fry ya :twisted:
There is nothing wrong with standard squat. Why so serious?What is wrong with standard back squats.....shoulder width....below parallel (which few do). Slow and controlled on the negative and 3-4 sets of 5-10reps. If you do these correctly and controlled, there is no need for extravagant stuff IMO.

Ahh I see. My traps do stick out slightly, but not after I rest a heavy bar ontop of it.I quit using a pad because my powerlifting team doesn't use it.
And you'd be surprised, if you keep the bar just below your neck, you actually get used to it, no pain, and completely stable, especially if you have traps that stick out at least slightly so it can rest on them for stability...
there is no "one best way" imo...hit the muscles from all angles - variation is key to growthWhat do yous guys think is the most effective form of squat?
everyone at my gym calls those pads that go on the bars maxi pads. I personally dont use the pad cause overtime your back starts to form rougher skin and a dent i guess you could call it where the bar constantly is. But if it feels more comfortable then i guess more power to you
