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

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.Muscle Pharm Rep - 09-07-2008, 12:21 AM

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 - 09-08-2008, 12:45 AM

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.

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 - 09-16-2008, 08:08 PM

not bad... doing single legs suck!
