Front Squat

If you could pick one exercise for your lower body what would it be? For me it was a question that took some thought and analysis coming down to the front squat or the deadlift….

After some debate the winner came to be the front squat as it is a better isolator of the lower body muscles whereas the deadlift will also use a load of upper body strength to make the movement flow. For me the front squat when using weight wins out everytime over the conventional back squat, for the following reasons:

  • There is LESS Spinal Load and Flexion - Basically meaning our spines are subjected to less abuse, this is a great thing as the spine needs to last us for a lifetime and the last thing it needs is regular compression from heavy weights.
  • Free Abdominal Training - While the back squat does cause the abs to work, it is not to the same extent as the front squat. Keeping the upper body erect with the weight in front of you keeps the abs working hard.
  • Less Chance of Bad Form - The front squat gives less margin for error, meaning Front squats wrong and you will lose the bar. The same cannot be said for the back squat which allows you to slouch forward and even arch the back.
  • Great Leg Development - Front Squats are probably the best quadriceps movement going, they also use the hamstrings and glutes to stabilise while reducing strain of the hips.
  • Less Lower Back Pain - The main problems with back squats is the amount of strain they put on the lower back due to compression, and the instability of the bar on the back. This puts rotational force on the lumbar spine which front squats avoid.

The front squat also emulates natural squatting a lot more than a back squat, if you were to do a bodyweight squat now with your arms out in front of you and your torso upright it would be exactly how you would be doing the front squat in terms of form.

The benefit of the front squat though is that it builds real, functional strength. Sure you can’t lift as heavy as when doing back squats but it keeps form good and movement deep and has the whole body working. Front squats are the ideal way to start full body workouts, something as simple as 3 sets of 10 reps using Front Squats, Bench Press and Pullups can give you a superb workout that can build size and strength.

As always though form is greatly important, This is one of the better videos I came across on YouTube:

If you are new to the gym it would be worth asking one of the trainers to quickly show you how to front squat. The key is to start light or even with just an olympic bar as the mechanics of the movement can feel off if you have never done it before. Also some people get confused as to how to place their hands and elbows. In terms of Grip I prefer to use the Clean Grip which is what Scott is using in the video above, this works better for most gym goers as it is the safest grip.

A few years ago I switched from back squats to front squats and never looked back. It is funny that now when I try back squats they seem odd and feel weird, either way the change has led to great full body development and huge improvements in my athletic performance.

Purifying the Body Naturally.

You should be aware that I’m constantly on the lookout for good fitness articles. Great fitness is something we all should constantly strive for everyday. Today, I discovered a great article concerning fitness in a different way. Make sure to read this article and let me know how you feel about it. This article is titled Purifying The Body Naturally. and you can find the full article published below for convenience:

I Prefer Informal

Herbs and Spices can be extremely powerful, and serve to purify and cleanse the body. Killing off bacteria and foreign matter that maybe lurking inside the body.

The truth is we have evolved as a species to eat a wide variety of herbs, spices and foods which have natural anti-viral properties. Sadly due to modern processed food and delicate tastes many of these have now been forgotten…..

In years gone by we cooked with these substances not only to add flavour but for their health benefits, things like Garlic, Fennel, Ginger, Cinnamon, Pepper and many others have a potent effect on our wellbeing.

I am going to go into some detail about how some of these substances can have a profound effect on your body and hopefully encourage you to use a wide variety of them while cooking and eating at home. These are some of my favourite and ones which can be easily implemented into your everyday cooking.

Thyme - In previous articles we have looked over thyme as it is an extremely useful herb. It contains Thymol which is an extremely potent anti-bacterial, so potent that it is used in many mouthwashes as a main component. The article linked has loads more information on Thyme and its uses when cooking, recently I have been using fresh thyme to make a herbal tea by simply steeping a few branches on Thyme and sweetening with honey.

Garlic – Well known for its anti-bacterial properties Garlic can slow and kill more than 60 types of fungi and bacteria, including some of the most potent known to man (Salmonella, and Staphylococcus to name a few). It is no wonder it is known to be “nature’s anti-biotic”, Garlic is also filled with anti-oxidants. It can be added to pretty much anything when it comes to cooking and works especially well with red meat and poultry. I often make a chicken marinade with Olive Oil, Crushed Garlic, Lemon Juice and Sea Salt/Pepper, leave it to soak overnight and cook the next day.

Ginger - Which contains a substance called Gingerol which works to kill parasites and bacteria. Ginger can be steeped as a tea or used in a wide variety of asian dishes like curries and stir-frys. For a simple Ginger tea try the following:

  • Cut the Ginger into thin slices
  • Add to a saucepan filled with water and bring to the boil
  • Reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes
  • Strain the tea and add Lemon juice and Honey to taste

Although the lemon honey and ginger tea is associated with cold weather, it can be drunk year round and works to cool and cleanse in the summer or warm and uplift in winter.

Cayenne - Capsicum which is a component in all peppers is another potent anti-parasitic. It seems that Cayenne pepper maybe the most concentrated of the family plus it is easy to get hold of and a great spice to add to all kinds of dishes that need a little kick.

Cloves - Sometimes forgotten as they are associated with the festive season, so are rarely used outside of this period. Cloves contain two anti-microbrials Eugenol and Caryophyllene which work to kill off parasites in the body, they actually travel through the bloodstream to the offenders. Although cloves are usually used in sweet dishes they can also be added to Chilli or other more savoury stew like dishes. I love adding a few cloves to homemade applesauce, which adds a very pleasant and warming flavour.

There are many many other herbs and spices which can help to cleanse the body, I have just gone over some of the standouts. It is important when cooking at home to try and emphasize the use of these foods as they can have hugely beneficial properties and realistically be the difference between good and great health.

Especially when we take into account that supposedly 90% of Americans have some sort of parasites which do a great job of remaining undetected in the body. The least we can do is use a variety of natures cleaners on a regular basis to help purify the body….
