We hear a lot of confusion when we tell people we don't recommend that our clients do Back Squats. This video will cover some of the main reasons we feel they're a poor choice - as well as some of the exercises you should do instead.

I have adjustable dumbbells that can hold 400lbs of 10's on each dumbbell handle. I like to deadlift dumbbells with them on the sides of my legs for leg strength development, they force you to go deep and they push your core to the max, nothing works better.

Before watching: because we don't want to destroy our spines with a bodily destructive exercise.

Hex bar squats - near zero risk and all reward. Weighted vest, even moreso.

There are no sacred cows in building strength. Although I would probably have them do front squats if they could get into front rack positioning after a little while of goblet squats, and farmers squats. Progressive overload means those two variations will eventually wed the barbell, If they are doing 20 reps of goblet squats, they might find their arms are the limiting factor after a couple of months of consistent training and progress.

What's your stance on utilizing a front squat harness to perform unilateral split squats, in regards to return on investment for ease of progressively increasing load vs. spinal compression load and/or over taxing the lumbar muscular to the point where there could be structural issues, vs. If one was using say dumbbells or an open trap bar?

Also, do feel that the back squat has any merit, if used sparingly with subjectively lighter heights and efforts, to help build resiliency, (aka "toughen up the spine), in regards to spinal similar to a intelligently programed Jefferson Curl does with spinal flexion...more or less like the law of accommodation, .or am I just off iny thinking pattern and comparison?

I much prefer the front squat, especially since it can be executed directly after a power clean. Why does Rippetoe recommended it in Starting Strength, though?

Well I know to avoid the Mike Boyle training.

It is literally a less efficient use of time and effort to do unilateral work. And no you cannot do more than 50% of a bilateral 1RM with unilateral work. This is because of the stability factor of bilateral movement. This certification has to be one of the worst in the industry and that says something

The spine, like your muscles, adapt to the stress you place on it. The bones become more dense from resistance training. They’re not beams in a building that break down due to stress. Provided you don’t overdo it too quick, back squats are the best exercise for almost anyone. Bad take.

The problem with squats is that only the **proper, anterior-chain**-driven form/technique will actually allow you to lift the most weight (plus most safely too), which in turn simultaneously makes it among the **least functional** exercises out there because most folks use their posterior chains vastly more for actually lifting/moving stuff up and down...

You’re just absolutely wrong on all points you’re trying to make.

1. Stress on back from compression: this is not a bad or dangerous thing. Human beings are not fragile. We get bigger and stronger bones and muscles by handling heavier loads. The spine is no different

2. Mobility issues: if you cannot teach someone how to squat you are just a shit strength coach. 95+% of people can hit depth on a squat.

3. Not the most efficient way to train legs: it is literally the most efficient leg movement
