Cable Front Squat with V Bar
A squat facing a low pulley with its V-bar held in both hands at the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the low pulley, the V-bar at the chest, elbows down, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Walk back from the stack until the cable pulls.
- Squat down, the V-bar held against the chest.
- Drive up, elbows staying under the handle.
Common mistakes
V-bar pulling away from the chest: keep it pinned. Heels lifting as the cable pulls: sit back between the heels. Short range: squat to parallel or below.
