front squats will make your knees fall off and give you tendonitis in your wrists. back squats will cause discs in your lumbar spine to explode, risking paralysis. stick with leg curls, seated calf raises and hamstring curls. |

What?!  sounds awful!! Is squatting that bad for you? But isn't barbell back squat one of the best exercise? Kinda makes me afraid to squat... But since you're saying the problem of back squat is on your back, then how about leg press? Just asking cause we got one at our school. And I mean the seated ones, not lying on your back and pushing upwards. |

The front and the back squat are both excellent exercises. Start with whichever is easier for you. |

The back squat is the best exercise over front squats in my opinion and the front squat is a good for helping with form for the back squat. the front squat can be painful for the wrist. So Back Squats all the way. |

one of the reasons i asked was because im not sure about how much the glutes are involved in the front squat
The hamstrings can't contribute to hip extension as much in the front squat as in the back squat because they are not as lengthened in the front squat (the more a muscle is already shortened, the less it can contract and contribute). Therefore hip extension is mostly glutes in the front squat and very little hamstrings. I just front squatted for the first time a couple days ago and nearly strained my left glute. My glutes hurt more than my quads during the movement. Edit: Meant to say that I front squatted for the first time in three months. My post made it seemed like it was the first time I front squatted ever. |

Tis true. What the front squat does is eliminate hamstirng involvement, the glutes are still very involved if not more involved. Take 2 big groups of people and have one group do back squats and jumps and one do front squats and jumps it wouldn't surprise me if the front squat group made better vert specific gains due to the inherent increased lower body loading involved (you can't lean forward and take stress off the legs) - they do have some advantages (harder to cheat, less lower back involvement, more lower quad involvement etc.). But they're also kinda a pain in the ass. |
