Frankenstein Squat
The front squat with no hands: the bar rests on the front delts and the arms reach straight forward.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the front delts against the throat, arms straight out in front.
Steps
- Squat down keeping the arms level.
- Keep the torso upright so the bar stays put.
- Stand without letting the arms drop.
Common mistakes
Arms sinking: the shoulders drop and the bar rolls; keep them up. Torso leaning forward: stay upright or the bar slides off. Loading heavy: go light; nothing holds the bar but the shoulders.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
