Front Squats

Posted by Bob on March 27, 2013, 6:24 pm

I was wondering...based on the way the rulebook reads, I would think yes...but are Front Squats permitted in competition?

Thank you

I'm not sure what rulebook you've been reading my friend. The very first line of the rules of performance of the squat states the following "...the bar shall be held horizontally across the shoulders..."

Thanks for the replies guys.

Jackson...when you front squat, isn't the bar horizontal across your front deltoids? It didn't specify what part of your shoulders.

Jim...I had back surgery some years ago, and back squatting with any weight puts me at risk, but it appears I can front squat (so far) with no issues.

A moot point now, but again, thank you.

Ah.

Over the years I have heard the same from others.

Even if they were, why would anyone want to?
