Cable Front Squat

The front squat against a low cable, a handle held at the chest while facing the stack; the cable pulls down and forward.

How to do it

Setup

Facing the low pulley a step away, the handle at the chest, elbows down.

Steps

Squat down, keeping the handle at the chest.
Hold the chest up against the cable's pull.
Stand tall, hips through at the top.

Common mistakes

Handle drifting off the chest: the cable drags you forward; pin it. Standing over the pulley: the cable rubs the shins; step back. Knees caving at depth: push them out.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale up.
