STRENGTH: FRONT SQUAT

Taking all of the good movement patterns you have developed from the back squat (knee tracking, tall chest, no butt-winking), let’s keep the bar in the front rack. We will take away the ‘pause’ from last week, but we will want to keep the great form we were using. The front squat is going to force you to BRACE YOUR CORE, maintain a good front rack position and really dial in on that thoracic spine.

Today, we are going to complete doubles. If you are struggling to keep your core tight, have troubles keeping the descent controlled, notice your thoracic spine is rounding, DON’T ADD WEIGHT! It’s better to do each rep a bit lighter with great form than to throw weight on with bad movement patterns.
