The Front Squat:

The squat is tops (along with deadlifts) as one of the most effective overall exercises for stimulating body composition changes (muscle gain and fat loss). That’s because exercises like squats and deadlifts use more muscle groups under a heavy load than almost any other weight bearing exercises known to man.

Let’s see, there’s the pectorals, the abdominals, the lats, the trapezius, the biceps and triceps, the glutes, the hamstrings, the soleus, and the anatomical list of muscles goes on, and on, and on…

With so many muscles to work, shouldn’t it take an equal amount of exercises to work them all? The answer is a resounding, “NO!”
