What do yous guys think is the most effective form of squat?

[Rodja]

Unless you have bad hips, stick with the king.

[Hank Vangut]

agreed. you can move the most weight thus stimulate the most muscle fibers with a regular old squat.

[Royd The Noyd]

x3 good ole fashion squatz.

[Fatal Wisdom]

One legged sqauts rape me way more

[pmiller383]

Box Squat all the way. I think you forgot some variations though:
Sponge bob squat
Reverse band squat
Safety bar squat
Zercher squat
Camber bar squat
Overhead squat
etc....

Personally I think the most bad @ss squat is a camber bar squat onto a box, not only does it kill your legs but it fries your upper body too.

Box Squat below parrellel or to parrellel FTW.

[raginfcktard]

normal squats...ATF baby!

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

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.

Compound set with the squats, that's horrendous.

souns like torture! I like it

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.

i still like front squats more. Feels like it works more. Plus you look super cool doing it!

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) exercise

[thaOrleanyte]

amen. front squats work great on the ''teardrop''

Most effective for what? Total lower-body strength, aesthetics, etc...?

[thaOrleanyte]

dont read into it so much. just the most effective all around

[ozarkaBRAND]

That's not reading into it deep at all.. IMO, that's a vital piece of information if one is going to answer the question.

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 ****s and giggles!

[ozarkaBRAND]

I used to absolutely hate front squats..

made myself do them...

now I like them lots!

[msucurt]

yep, i love front squats. Drills my quad and the inner sweep. I do like regular back squats, but they hit more outer sweep and back/glute area more. I go back and forth. One week=front squats, next week=back squats, etc. maybe even throw in a 20rep DC style. God that is so f'in painful.

Good to see the front squat getting some love. I do them to a box. Nothing I've done to this point has given me the same quad pump. I started doing them because my rear squat form sucks. I always tweak my back. Front squats are good because you cant screw up the form...if you do you'll dump it.

I agree you look really cool doing them too. I do them cross armed for that added coolness. Chicks come and ask about them too which alone is a damn fine reason to do them.


Do front squats and all your wildest dreams will come true

[pumpga]

Single-leg squats

[thaOrleanyte]

not bad... doing single legs suck!
