We talk about how the barbell front squat is an incredible exercise to not only build leg strength, but also helps you sculpt and strengthen your core and abs. Rick also shares the 3 key coaching cues and points to properly complete a front squat effectively and safely, as well as wrist stretches to increase wrist flexibility.
Why You Should Add The Front Squat To Your Workout Routine
One thing a lot of people have is back pain. When completing a barbell back squat, the weight is loaded on your back, which can then force you to start leaning too far forward.
The barbell front squat is a little different than the barbell back squat, because the barbell is loaded on the front of the body. When completing a barbell front squat, since the weight is loaded on the front of your shoulders, it’s going to be hard to lean too far forward, because if you do, you’re going to drop the weight.
Therefore, during the front squat, it requires you to use proper form by extending your back, thus putting your back in a better position. It’s also important to keep, what we call a “tibia torso angle” during the lowering and raising of the front squat. This occurs when the shins and the torso remain at the same angle during the movement, similar to windshield wipers.
If someone is prone for leaning too far forward during their barbell back squat, the front squat is going to correct this by keeping the torso more upright, at a proper angle. The front squat is also helpful in building the necessary core strength that is so important to reduce back pain.
3 Coaching Cues On How To Front Squat With Proper Form And Technique
Barbell Front Squat Coaching Tip #1: Grip And Elbow Position
To get into the barbell front squat position, you will load the barbell on the front of your shoulders, focusing on keeping your elbows up and pointed to create a shelf with your arms.
If the front squat grip doesn’t feel good for you, hold the barbell in a different way by swapping it out for the “I Dream Of Jeannie” grip. The difference with this grip is it has your arms crossed over in front of your body.
Barbell Front Squat Coaching Tip #2: Keep Weight Balanced Over Entire Foot
The next coaching cue is when you lower your body down into the squat, try to make sure you keep the weight balanced over your entire foot. When you have the weight loaded in front of your body, you don’t want to lean forward or backward too much. You want to use and push through the whole platform of the foot to drive back up to the top of the front squat.
Barbell Front Squat Coaching Tip #3: Think About Pushing The Floor Away From You
When you come up out of the bottom of the squat, mentally think about pressing the floor away from you, rather than moving the bar up. Lastly, at the top of the squat, think about driving your hips forward to move them in between your shoulders and knees. This way your knees and hips straight at the exact same time.
