Its harder, because you have to keep your chest up, this works more stablizers and form really well. I like to do front squats, after regular squats to keep my back, and abbs nice and tight. OR if ever my form starts slipping on regualr, a few weeks worth of front squats, will shock my core into getting stronger, and help my regular squat. -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!
