Like with back squats, front squats increase muscle mass in the lower body. The front squat muscles worked primarily include the quadriceps (quads), glutes, hips, and hamstrings. If your goal is to build the perfect glutes, front squats can help with that too. They also help strengthen the spinal erectors.
