FITNESS FRIDAY 💪

TGIF everyone! I love to lift heavy and be strong. Squats have a way of making you feel so strong and powerful, so let’s touch on some differences between a front squat and a back squat.
·
🏋️‍♂️Front squats have the weight loaded on the front of the body. This load puts the emphasis on the quadriceps muscles. As they engage throughout the movement, the core supports the spine, and the hips, knees, and ankles facilitate the movement!
·
🏋️‍♂️Back squats have the weight loaded on the back. This puts the emphasis on the hamstrings muscles more so than the quadriceps. Like the front squat, the core supports the spine, and the hips, knees, and ankles facilitate the movement!
·
🏋️‍♂️Both of these exercises utilize the quadriceps and hamstrings, but where you load the weight affects muscle recruitment.
