What if any is the difference between regular sqauts, and front squats ? Does it target anything different by doing them this way ?

Thanks..

Maybe I need to explain more.. Regular sqauts, holding the bar behind the head.. Front sqauts, holding the bar infront of you..

I don't know much about the differences between front and back squats, but this article may answer some of your questions:

back squats - allow you to sit back more so can emphasie more glutes and hams along with quads

front squats - the load is shifted to the front so all quads here and a good core workout too..the great thing here is that it limits spinal compression unlike back squats

both great but i'd probably cycle one in and one out of your programs
