Both deserve a spot in your lifting routine, but here is what sets them apart:
Front Squat
• The Focus: Quad-dominant.
• The Demand: Requires serious ankle, wrist, and shoulder mobility.
• The Bonus: Forces more core activation to keep the torso and weight upright.
Back Squat
• The Focus: Glute and hamstring-dominant (posterior chain).
• The Demand: Requires less mobility.
• The Bonus: You can move significantly heavier weight.
