Best front squat technique instruction I've found so far. Thank you!
Really big thank you for the video, my front squat went up from 45kg to 70kg( second day I do front squat) very very happy! Keep it up the good work guys!
I am going to implement these ASAP. The Zombie and using straps. My wrist and shoulder mobility sucks...I am horrible at thrusters and front squats because I simply do not have a front rack position. I try and try and stretch when I can but these will help. THANK YOU!
This was a good demonstration, which gave me an idea, I am going to try it with using the thumb for security while on my shoulders to see how it works; with only the bar obviously.
Thank you for this video, I've been killing my wrists for a month and wasn't sure why.
Nice job Doug for not falling for the Cranberries reference. Don't date yourself!
I nearly started a conversation with that's Garbage but no your right it was Cranberries
It would be helpful to add a link if you reference another video - cant find the original squat video.
thanks for the video it was very helpful and easy to understand!
Thank you!! Very helpful!
Great video. I don't know if I'm structural abnormal - haven't been able to get the barbell seat on my shoulders without touching collarbone so I have to use my wrist. Will try the zombie technique next time.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. My question is how to improve my back mobility as I forcefully lean forward and the bar roll off of me every time I front squat?
great tutorial
Merci
cranberries. you dang whippersnapper!
I know what you're talking about CTP! Re: Zombie reference!
tyvm helped alot=)
i was hoping you'd talk about activating your core and not hyper-extending the back...because this has often thrown out my back
+InFa Knighty Hey, I tend to have the same problem with the front squat. When I go down my lower back starts to hyper extend and I feel like there is no stability in my core. I think the core bracing should probably be the same as in back squats: ribs down, neutral spine. For me the problem seems to be that i have a slight forward head posture so when I go down the bar starts to choke me. Then I have to pull my head back and that gets compensated by my lower back hyper extending. Have you figured out how to fix your front squat yet? I am interested to here your opinion on this.
+santtuhh thanks for the reply, still a work in progress, but i'm finding that trying to stay as upright as possible + staying on the heels + taking a breath at the top - is helping...although a different story when tired = leaning foward and rising with back...so in conclusion, i am probably going to work more front squat tempo pauses on the way down, at the bottom and back up...whilst during other core strengthening/activation exercises
I knew exactly what song that is my good sir :p
How many sets/reps for the front squat for hypertrophy?
gr8 video
Hi, where can you buy bands like these and what do you call them?
You did not talk about breathing? should i take a deep breath while unracking, or when squatting?
Abd Hash generally speaking for any exercise you inhale (take a deep breath) during the eccentric phase and then exhale during the concentric phase. In other words exhale when the muscles you are working are contracting. SInce your working your legs in a squat you want to inhale as you're going down with the weight and exhale when you're extending through your hips and knees. So take a deep breath when youre "squatting" and let it out when your going to "unrack".
I just can't seem to get my elbows up (I'm new to lifting). Could anyone recommend some good mobility work for that? Thanks
learo10 yes, you need to stretch out your forearms, wrists, bicepts, and whole upper chest area. One good stretch for the foreams/bicepts: press you palm flat against a wall shoulder width high, with the bottom of you palm pointing to the sky (hand upside down). From there press weight into your palm and turn your body away, you should feel a good stretch all up your arm. For you thorasic extention, lay on a foam roller positioned on your upper back and lay over top of it with your hands over your head, this should help open your chest and get those shoulders back.
LOL - Doug don't care about Cranberries!!
The Cranberries!
Tell me you're related to Rob Gronkowski?
Hey Grover! Catch (family guy reference)
Very helpful! Thank you!
