Barbell Front Chest Squat
Expert Advice
Keep your elbows high throughout the movement to prevent the bar from rolling off your shoulders and to maintain an upright torso, reducing the strain on your lower back.
How-to-do Steps
- Begin by standing with feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell resting on the front of your shoulders.
- Cross your arms to secure the bar and keep your elbows high.
- Brace your core and keep your chest up as you lower into a squat, hips back and down.
- Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
- Drive through your heels to return to the starting position, maintaining a high elbow position throughout.
