[dorian123]

that's crazy and awesome

just wondering though what's the advantage of a front squat over a regular squat?

Would you not agree that with a front squat it is more quad dominant than a back squat?

I don't get it, a straight line down to the ground your only talking maybe a foot depending on the diff between the barbell on the front compared to the back squat

maybe a person has to lean forward more with a front squat to keep their balance? not sure

point I'm getting at is I wouldn't think there is that much of a diff. but then again I don't do squats so how would I know?

Dude a front squat has such a harder leverage for most people than a back squat. It is harder to get a wide stance. You must remain completely erect and you can put no back into it. It completely changes your center of gravity, not to mention that I'm not sure how the hell he breaths with that much weight since it's literally resting on his lungs.

Yeah man an 800lb front squat is unreal.

i find that front squats are better for me in my quads (tear drop as well) i dont get sore in my hams and glutes from them like back squats

My knees hurt just watching that. Insane to say the least. I wonder what his max back squat is?
