Front squats vs back squats for athletes

[Balance]

@Stikki

Hulse talks about athletes having lordosis due to over-developed quads but then recommends an exercise that emphasizes the quads? Greater hip flexibility, more ankle flexion, more upright posture, hips closer under the bar; most of the points he makes could be addressed by high-bar full squats.

It reminds me of an old thread on the forum “front vs back squat” or something like that. I remember Charlie’s response was fronts were fine but if you have to do a bunch of posterior exercises to balance things out why not just stick with more efficient back squats?

CF-2007: “If you need to do front squat for whatever reason, you’d need to supplement with another back dominant lift. If you do backsquat, you don’t. If you actually have the choice and you need to limit the number of lifts in a session, the choice would be obvious. That said, you have to approach things in the way you are best able”
