Barbell Clean-Grip Front Squat
Expert Advice
Keep your elbows high throughout the squat to prevent the bar from rolling off your shoulders and to maintain an upright torso.
How-to-do Steps
- Begin with the barbell on the floor and stand with feet hip-width apart.
- Perform a clean to bring the bar up to your shoulders, with your hands just outside your shoulders and elbows pointing forward.
- Keep your elbows up and your core braced as you lower into a squat.
- Descend until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
- Drive through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
