How to Do the Perfect Barbell Front Squat (Complete Guide)
Build lower body strength, power, and core stability with this challenging squat variation that targets quads, glutes, and core while improving posture.
Perfect Barbell Front Squat Technique
The barbell front squat is a powerful movement that requires balance, mobility, and coordination. By keeping the barbell in front of the body, this variation shifts focus to the quads and requires a more upright torso.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
1.Setup Position: Position the barbell across the front deltoids, ensuring elbows are high and chest stays upright.
2.Grip the Bar: Hands should grasp the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width, keeping fingers relaxed but ready to stabilize.
3.Brace Core: Engage the core and take a deep breath before beginning the squat.
4.Squat Down: Bend at the knees and hips, lowering your body while maintaining an upright torso, with knees tracking over toes.
5.Stand Up: Drive through the heels and push through the quads to return to the starting position.
6.Breathing: Exhale as you press upward, inhale as you lower yourself into the squat.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1.Letting the elbows drop, leading to poor bar position.
2.Allowing the knees to cave inward during the squat.
3.Rounding the back or leaning too far forward.
4.Not maintaining a stable, braced core throughout the movement.
5.Lifting the heels off the ground.
