Guy from my gym just did a world record front squat.

[redback]

This is Warrick Brandt. This is an un-official world record for a front squat. They are trying to make it official as we speak. Same squat rack i use lol. Not sure warricks weight but he is a big dude, probably around 6' and over 300lbs.

Dang! Very impressive.

Usually on front squats I don’t go heavy. Very rare if I go over 225 lbs. I just don’t feel as secure as a normal squat to go heavier. And if I do I always feel my form suffers. Again, very impressive.

Mate are you kidding i don't even do front squats.

Why don't you do front squats? I don't do them every week but usually every other week I do. I don't do them on my heavy leg day.

I just switched over to doing front squats I feel like it hits my legs much more than regular squats which hit my lower back.

[Chadd77]

Front squats target your quads more than regular squats. Squats target more hams and also some lower back. That’s why I like to mix it up. If you feel that squats are targeting your lower back too much you may need to adjust your form.

i dont understand how its possible to hold to hold all that weight on your front delts, chest area.

i have seen power lifters squating shit loads of weight but not at the front like that.

And he does it with no spotter.

Not sure you can spot someone doing a front squat. Good thing is if you have to dump the weight the risk of hurting yourself is a lot less then a regular squat.
