Barbell front squat with straps
Intermediate10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Measure your shoulders against the bar to make sure you're even. Wrap a pair of lifting straps around the bar. Hold the ends of the straps. Throw your shoulders under the bar. The bar should be digging into your neck slightly.
- Make sure to push your elbows up to the ceiling for the entire rep. To make sure you don't get too pitched forward.
- Use the squat stance you would use for a back or goblet squat. Push your hips back to initiate the squat. Break at the knees until you hit parallel depth.
- Squat back up to a standing position.
