i really need to try front squats, I always try to squat but everytime i get to like 185+ pounds I just feel so much discomfort in my back and barely anything in my quads

Mobility is the key. Oftentimes ankle immobility leads to hip immobility which prevents glutes from activating fully and increasing the load on the lower back. Try warming up with dynamic stretches and walking backwards on a treadmill not turned on.

Try wider grip so you can position the barbell lower

Honestly awesome video straight to the point ,short and very informative

Great video !

GREAT SQUATTING PROWESS 🤌🏻

With front squat, the bar is further from your knee (which may not seem obvious, since the bar is in front of you, but since you NEED to be upright the bar will be further back... You can see this in the video). By the principle of moments, this works your quads more. The limiting factor for me was my thoracic back, as you really need to fight to stay upright. Both are great moves though, but you can grind out a back squat with shit form a lot easier than you can a front squat

Lol yeah I see many people with shit form on front squats in my weight training class in high school. Front squats force everyone to go way lighter and will humble you.

Push out your knees. Could be part of the reason your heels lift when you drive up.

This, if the sole is lifting it aint right somewhere

Unrelated, but could you do a video of your one foot bounce? Just testing your vertical off your left and right

FYI, glutes are core too

Feet placement would be the same on front and back squats?

Yes

Sadly as someone who has back pain and wrist pain (Both injuries from childhood) it is a very difficult thing trying to do either

The barbell should rest on the space below your collarbone and above your chest, with only the edge of your fingers touching it.

Use a bar tracker or a trainer to guide you, the bar is moving too much from the ideal straight line. Stay safe!

Dont give out advice if you cant squat properly yourself man. Youre dive bombing the bottom (bouncing out of the bottom) and your weight is completely misplaced - daylight under your heels.

Bouncing is not considered bad form. Very common in olympic weightlifting.

Not to be mean but you’re back squat form is not great man, the bar path comes forward too much, it’s not vertical. Do not lean forward. Use less weight

Better to take your shoes off. The shoes you have on you lift your heel above the ground, which is bad

You should get some heel lift maybe some romaleos your ankle mobility is suffering and those sneakers aren’t helping!
