Front Squat

SETUP: Bar at Shoulders/Rack Position. Stand with feet shoulder width apart, bar racked at the shoulders (create a shelf for the bar to sit on) hands outside shoulders, elbows high, upper arms parallel to the ground.

Execution

  • Bend at your hips and sit back into the squat.
  • Keep a good lumbar curve.
  • Keep your elbows high.
  • Keep the chest lifted.
  • Knees track with the toes.
  • Weight in the heels.
  • You should always aim to squat to just below parallel, meaning your hip joint needs to come just below your knee.
