Article: Goblet Vs Front Squat

I have low back probs that limit my back sqt. I have been doing frt sqt for a while and love it. I can push big numbers without pain and get in a great leg day.

My front squat numbers suck. And I tried usig the straps to help with the bar and that just made it worse. Wish I could front squat more.
 
I can't seem to get above 185 without my form breaking down VERY quickly. Dropped fully loaded bars a few times. Good thing it's always been in my home gym, no embarrassment that way. :-)
 
Would you front and back squat in same session or is it best to alternate? I've never really done much front squatting before, so I'm quite low on weight at present, building it up, and I follow a few sets of front squats with heavier back squats. Not sure if that's a good idea or not, but I enjoy it anyway.

I used to SS back and frt,but my low back started keeping from doing heavy back sqts. I started focusing more on frt because its easier on the low back. In a little over a year i am at 415 frt sqts. It has helped my back sqt #s as well.

That's some serious front squat weight. Nicely done.
 
Wow 415 frt squat is impressive. I love frt squats but max out around 275.

I don't bruise anymore like I did when I started but when I go heavy it still happens

Straps are the only way I can do it anymore... Ever since I saw that article on here about using straps its been a staple for me.
 
My squats suck..overall lol! Just bad leg genes I guess. Wish I had stronger legs. Leg work seems to really spark upper body growth for me
