Barbell Front Squat With Straps

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Secure a lifting strap around the bar at each shoulder, place the bar across the fronts of your shoulders, and hold the free ends without wrapping them around your hands.
2. 02Lift your elbows to keep the bar supported on your shoulders, then set your feet in a stable squat stance.
3. 03Brace your trunk and bend your hips and knees to squat under control while maintaining light tension on the straps.
4. 04Keep your heels planted, knees aligned with your toes, elbows lifted, and the bar balanced over your midfoot.
5. 05Drive through your whole feet to stand without using the straps to pull the bar upward, then reset before repeating.
