How to Do the Perfect Front Squat (Complete Guide)

Want to master the front squat — the quad-dominant movement that builds core strength? You're in the right place.

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

  1. Rack Position:Set bar at chest height, position on collar bones with elbows high
  2. Grip:Use clean grip or cross-arm grip based on mobility
  3. Unrack:Stand up and step back, feet shoulder-width apart
  4. Descend:Keep elbows high and chest up, sit back and down maintaining upright torso
  5. Drive Up:Push through heels, keep elbows high throughout movement

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Dropping elbows during the movement
  • Forward lean and losing upright position
  • Poor rack position causing wrist pain
  • Insufficient depth due to mobility restrictions
  • Weight shifting forward onto toes
