Safety Bar Front Squat
The front squat with a safety squat bar flipped to the front, its padded yoke across the shoulders and the hands holding it in place.
How to do it
Setup
Padded yoke across the front of the shoulders, hands on the pads, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Squat straight down, chest up under the pads.
- Keep the elbows high so the yoke stays put.
- Stand up, driving the chest up first.
Common mistakes
Yoke sliding forward off the shoulders: elbows up, hands firm. Heels lifting: sit between the heels, weight over the mid-foot. Upper back rounding under the load: chest proud, brace.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
