Place
a moderately heavy barbell on a squat rack. (You will be able to front
squat with approximately 60% of the weight you can use for back squats.)
Step up to the bar and position it across your deltoids at the base of
your neck. With your upper arms held parallel with the floor, cross your
arms over the weight. As long as you keep your elbows up as you do this
movement, the bar will be sure at your shoulders. Lift the bar off the
rack, step back a few feet, and set your feet about shoulder width apart,
toes angled slightly outward. Tense all of your back and midsection
muscles and keep them tensed throughout your set. Focus your eyes high on
the wall in front of you in order to keep your head and back straight as
you do front squats. |
