Front squat
Target: quads

Placing the bar on the front of your shoulders changes your position to emphasise your quads and lessen the pressure on your lower back.

Front squat
  • Rest the bar on the front of your shoulders.
  • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and toes turned out slightly.
  • Grip the bar with your fingertips, elbows pointing forward.
  • Keep your back upright and core braced throughout.
  • Keep looking forward.
  • Keep your knees in line with your feet and your elbows as high as you can during the squat.
  • Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  • Push back up through your heels.
