Front Squat
Description:


Stance - Grip the bar with a clean grip and place the barbell across your shoulders in a power clean racked position.  Remove the bar from the squat rack and take 2 steps back.  Position your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart with toes slightly turned out.  Keep your back straight, abs tight, and chest inflated with air.


Bottom Position - Squat straight down keeping your feet flat, do not lean forward on the toes.  Drop down to a point where the top of your thigh is parallel to the ground.  In this position your hips may be slightly lower than your knees.  Be sure to keep your back straight, abs tight, and chest upright.

Finish Position - Drive out of the bottom position keeping the chest upright and the back straight until standing erect with the bar.  Exhale and reset for the next repetition being sure to again fill the chest with air.
