Barbell Back Squat

The back squat is called the “king of all exercises” for a reason. Squatting with a barbell and heavy bumper plates on your back allows you to overload your leg muscles with more weight than you could with other tools. Your core works overtime as you brace to ensure that your torso is rigid throughout the movement (which promotes a stable and safe spine). And your back, which is supporting the physical load, will also reap some strength gains.

Back squats are also great for both heavy, low-rep training or lighter, high-rep training. Higher rep squats (and lower rep but not to the same extent) cause the body to produce more growth hormones that trigger the effect of increasing your overall size and strength.

Benefits of Barbell Back Squat

• Improved leg strength and hypertrophy. The back squat builds serious leg and back strength.
• A more powerful lower body. A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found a strong correlation between squats and jump height.

How to Do the Barbell Back Squat

Step under a barbell and set a good foundation by flexing your core to lift the barbell off the squat rack. Grip the barbell wherever allows you optimal shoulder mobility to get your elbows under the bar. Set it either high or low on your upper back, unrack it, and take a few steps back. Pull the bar down into your shoulders to create tension. Keep your chest up, take a deep breath in and squat down to a comfortable depth and pause for a beat. Drive your feet through the floor until lockout.

Barbell Front Squat

You may be thinking, “wait, do we really need two squats on this list?” Yes, and here’s why: Though they’re both squatting patterns, the front squat has you support the barbell in the front rack position, resting across your shoulders. This position takes the load off your back, reduces spinal compression, and forces you to contract your upper back muscles better to prevent the bar from falling forward mid-lift. Compared to the back squat, the front squat trains the body’s anterior muscles more heavily, engaging the quads and anterior core to a greater degree.

Benefits of the Barbell Front Squat

• The front-loaded barbell position means that there’s less pressure on the spine compared to back squats.
• The front squat has more carryover to Olympic lifts since the clean & jerk essentially includes a front squat.
• This move reinforces upper back strength and posture as the lifter needs to actively squeeze their back to ensure the barbell stays put during the lift.
