Perfect Front Squat Technique
The front squat shifts the load forward, creating unique demands on your quads, core, and upper back while improving mobility and posture. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect rack position and movement quality.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Rack Position: Set bar at chest height, position on collar bones with elbows high
- Grip: Use clean grip or cross-arm grip based on mobility
- Unrack: Stand up and step back, feet shoulder-width apart
- Descend: Keep elbows high and chest up, sit back and down maintaining upright torso
- Drive Up: Push through heels, keep elbows high throughout movement
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping elbows during the movement
