Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[phcitywarrior]

On Fully Body Sage Mode cycles I'm front or back squatting every training day (45-75 minutes) and pulling 1-3x a week (least 30 minutes).

On Upper/Lower x3:
- I'm squatting 12 sets + warm-ups on Tues then sumo deadlifting 30-45 minutes
- I'm front squatting 30-45 minutes then deadlifting 12 sets + warm-ups on Thurs
- I'm squatting at least 9 sets + warm-ups on Sat (usually singles) then sumo deadlifting 30-45 minutes

On PHAT I'm squatting and deadlifting both on Lower Body Power days.

On PPL I'm sometimes adding front squats to Pull Days.

That’s an intense regime right there but you’e one of The Gym’s OG.

Question for you: Can I get away with just doing back squats or is there benefit in front squats? What’s the difference in terms of lower body engagement?

Thanks, but I'm still a neophyte in the gym game.

As for your question, no, you can get away with just back squats (high- or low-bar).

Front squats seem to tax the lower back/spinal erectors less and place more emphasis on the quads and upper back than low-bar squats, which use the hamstrings and glutes more, tax the lower back more. The front squat is a low-bar squat assistance movement.

Both seem to engage the abs/core fairly well, and both are great for helping to build up your thighs.

It's a joint record like a shared no hitter.

You see the way they were positioned? That was a non-harlem lift

I ordered my tennis racquet finally, been productively procrastinating and apparently have perfect timing, turns out there's a huge sale!

Why lift when you can swing?

Because tennis will not improve bone density nor strength nor body composition to the same degree as lifting, especially since you won’t do that consistently either.


Enjoy being , brehettes.
