Hi Rani, more specific to other lifts like clean/power cleans and bar position makes it a very “quad” dominant movement as you cannot have as much hip flexion as the back squat and thus less capacity to bring in hip and back extensors to complete the movement so keeps you ‘honest’. Also a good variation on normal squats when looking for a change in programming if back squats have been performed for a long period of time.
what is the goal of the front squat?
