but front squats are fucking awesome to get a strong core/back

@@driesvandenbroecke1697agree but sadly I messed my back up doing improper squats over the years this is way healthier for my wrestling

I'm getting amazing results and my discs thank me!

i think these type of squats allow trainer to destroy muscles without a spotter and the worry of injury... Great compound movement imo..

I'm in the same boat. I have 3 extruded discs in my back and barbell squats put way too much pressure on my spine. These are a great alternative and take a lot of the direct pressure off my lower back.

Did the mail man squat alot to deliver you the hex bar at your door? 😅

Same here, I've got bad hip and would find deadlifts disappear from my workouts with just a barbell. Bought hex bar and opened up loads of new movement i can manage.

Billy Bass : I hear ya bro. Try the SSB (safety squat bar) for squats, you will love that too.

@@geraldbrienza4474 never heard of that one, is that like a smith machine?

@@geraldbrienza4474 just looked it up, looks good piece of equipment. 👍

Billy Bass : btw, never do squats on a Smith. Keeps your body too linear. A Max rack is ok because you have some forward and backward latitude allowing for proper form.

i have herniated disc's in my neck and this is best type of squats for me now..

If your hips low and you press " through the floor", it will hit the legs in first place!!

Over as in above rather than further forward.

Mines an Olympic hex bar and its 30kg and the length I don't know

They will get longer as long as your knee grows.

@He-Man ! Where does it say...back squats...?????? I never heard of doing squats with a hex bar . But YES I do deadlifts with the hex bar because of what you said....I'm almost 60 and don't need to break my back but I do keep going up in weight.

@He-Man ! LOL, all a misunderstanding on both ....but I love doing hex bar squats compared to a regular deadlift which just kills my form. Have a good day.

Cliff Hanley alan thrall says it's the same move anyway except you're pulling so maybe the weight will be more than a squat would be.

@Cliff Hanley sorry meant with respect to what the hands and upper body are doing compared to the squat. They say in exrx if the weight is heavy with deadlifts then the lats get involved so I put in the pulling part but maybe I shouldn't have. The legs should be doing most of the work.

I think it's making him stand on a higher level so as to make him reach further down to lift the hex bar thus increasing his range of motion ROM.

Where would you find a block of wood? Idk bro, blocks of wood are extremely rare.

@@Kian19870 Haha killing me boss.

Home Depot or Lowe's are you friend.

Correct

both are right

Nope,it's a squat

@@deanwaller8283 look at the range of motion, he’s having to throw his knees forward and he’s still not parallel with the ground. It’s a crap movement. The differences between this and a deadlift that he’s mentioning is hip position but that varies from person to person on deadlift anyway. The benefits that you’d expect from squatting would be very limited here meanwhile you’re also working muscles you would in deadlift as it’s a similar movement. You’re better off doing regular squats, and regular deadlift. I do normal squats that low smith machine squats for time under tension, fantastic. Yet again we have fitness trainers trying to re invent the wheel to sell themselves to inexperienced people that don’t know any better. The more experienced lifters see right through this crap. My friend does “hex bar squats” he’s being doing them for over a year he still looks like a mess doing it because there’s no direct A-B Movement and he’s no stronger and his legs look like broomsticks. Just stop trying to do stupid shit to prove a point and build up with the basics.

@@adamparsons4518 It’s a squat variation and you do not have a friend who’s been doing them for a year with no results. You’re lying to try to prove an invalid point.

@@liegelord135 yes I do mr lord. He’s a runner and does weights on the side but due to that fact he hasn’t got any stronger. It’s not a squat it’s a completely un optimal deadlift
