really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	i dont really feel any pressure in my knees, so unless it's for that extra bounce at the bottom, i don't really see the need. my uneducated opinion .

Sugdens very own David Dimbleby Member 1403, 3716 posts SQ 220, BP 115, DL 260 595.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq	I think the most common way to fail a front squat (from personal experience and what i've seen in the gym etc) is losing it forward on the way up. If knee wraps were used it would give you pop out of the bottom no doubt but probably make you tip forward more on the way up. Could be completely wrong though.
