Front Squats before Back Squats
WHY?
It improves balance and squatting mechanics due to the forward shift in the centre gravity due to the position of the load (barbell)
It forces you to maintain stability through the thoracic spine.
It has a reduced compression loading on the lower back
It’s easier to learn how to create torque in the hips and avoid valgus collapse.
It increases VMO activation which improves knee stability.
