It's time for some fronts squats, who doesn't love these? I do especially the next day when I walk like
a baby giraffe. Lets get started, when you do front squats, the barbell will rest on the front of your shoulders, if you are flexible enough, if you are like me it more like top of your chest shoved into your throat, hold it in place as in example bellow.
By moving the weight in front of you instead of behind you, you change your center of gravity and, thus, change the focus of the exercise to the quads. This is due to how you're holding the weight, you might need to use a lighter weight then when you do back squats but work up to a weight that you are comfortable doing. Here is how to do it:
1. Stand with feet hip- or shoulder-width apart.
2. Place the barbell on the front of the shoulders and cross the arms over the bar to hold it in place.
3. Bend the knees and lower into a squat. Because of how you're holding the weight, your torso will remain vertical and you may not be able to squat down as low, so take care not to compromise your balance.
4. Contract the glutes and legs slowly stand back up without locking the knees and repeat for 1-5 sets of 3-5 repetitions. Depending on your weight and capabilities, its ok to try to go for a Max effort but not every time
6. Always keep the knees in line with the toes!
