Front Squat Form Guide
Front squats emphasize quads and require more core engagement than back squats. Bar rests on front delts in 'racked' position—arms crossed or clean grip. Elbows stay high throughout. Torso stays more upright than back squats. Break at knees first, keep elbows up, descend until hips break parallel. Drive up, maintaining upright posture. The front squat punishes poor mobility—work on ankle and thoracic spine flexibility if you struggle with position.
