🏋️ FRONT SQUAT vs BACK SQUAT — WHICH IS BETTER FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES?

Whether you’re training for a marathon, ultra or triathlon, squats should be part of your strength training!

But which one should you choose?

🟢 FRONT SQUAT

With the barbell across the front of your shoulders, the front squat encourages a more upright torso.

✅ Greater demand on quads and upper back

✅ Challenges core stability

✅ Develops knee and hip strength

For endurance athletes: Great for building quad strength and trunk control, especially for hills, climbing and challenging terrain.

⚫ BACK SQUAT

With the barbell across your upper back, you can generally lift heavier loads.

✅ Builds overall lower-body strength

✅ Strengthens quads, glutes and hips

✅ Develops maximal strength and force production

For endurance athletes: Greater strength can improve running economy, helping you use less energy at a given pace.

💚 SO WHICH SQUAT WINS?

Neither! Both have their place.

Research shows that adding heavy strength training can improve running economy and endurance performance.

The best squat depends on your goals, mobility and experience.
