Front Squats The Best Thigh Builder And Shaper
Posted by: Ron
The size and shape of your thighs can either make you look stocky or they can create an illusion to make your legs look long and hips narrower
Perform the 3/4 front squat as Vince Gironda outlined for super quad development
Vince has always been vocal against the traditional back squat. He called it a hip thickener. On the other hand, he liked the front squat performed in a very specific way and called it the greatest size builder and shape developer he’s ever known.
The way to do the 3/4 front squat for maximum results is:
- Hold the barbell on the front deltoids
- Keep your back straight throughout the whole movement (this is key!)
- Place your heels 11 inches apart
- Lower your body to a full, deep squat (all the way down)
- Place a 2 inch block under your heels if you have trouble going low and keeping your heels flat
- Raise up only until your thighs are parallel to the floor
- Immediately lower yourself to the full, deep squat position again
- Then rise up to 3/4 of the way, never locking the knees out
- Repeat
To recap: one rep consists of lowering your body to the lowest position you can go, rising until your thighs are parallel to the floor, immediately lowering to the bottom again and rising to 3/4 of the way before repeating.
Try this exercise for variety and the incredible pump it will give you.
