Barbell Front Squat
1 - Start by placing a barbell on a squat rack at chest height. Grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your palms facing upwards.
2 - Step under the bar and lift it onto the front of your shoulders, with your elbows pointing forward and your upper arms parallel to the floor. Your fingertips should be lightly touching the bar to help support it.
3 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged.
4 - Lower your body down by bending your knees, keeping your back straight and your weight on your heels. Keep your elbows pointing forward, and lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
5 - Push through your heels and stand back up to the starting position, keeping your core engaged throughout the movement.
