Front Squat form check

[abroom]

As i'm working to improve my posture, I feel like it's essential to improve my front squat.
It's like elliott hulse said: "if you´re ****ed up, then it´s going to show up in your front squat."



Any obvious mistakes/imbalances?

I apologize if the the camera-angle is bad.

[jamalfudge]

Hah, youtube is getting too saturated to post a generic form-check video!

Ok, so the hip-shooting problem, is that remedied by strengthening my quads?

Looks good, op.

Thanks

Could be your quads, but.....

As you fatigue concentrate on 2 things:
1. Keeping your core tight and back upright
2. Opening your hips and squatting between your legs

The less you open your hips the more likely you'll lean forwards. Think "V" shape and pressing through the teardrop muscles on the way up. At that point, let your legs do what they do. If you fail due to quads at least you'll fail with good form which in my opinion is better than achieving crappy reps, on the front squat. Your form is pretty good so you'll likely progress quick.

Well maybe you would have been a beast if you diverted your energy towards improving yourself instead of writing negative comments on the internet...

Yeah that makes sence, feels like it would be easier to maintain an uprigth torso if im focusing on sitting down rather than back.
Thanks for your time/advice.

Your posture looks find IMHO. You could use some hip and ankle work to get more upright, but you're not really losing posture like you think, and your forward lean is not that bad for being 6' and having long legs. Work ankles using the barbell across the thighs stretch everyday. Put modest weight on the bar, like 50-60kg and sit down there for as long as possible, 30 sec to a minute at a time.

Ok thanks , those all seems like reasonable things to implement.

Squat/front squat update. Any pointers?

[Garage Rat]

It looks pretty good.
I don't see anything that i would deem bad.
When you got to your last rep your form wavered but you did the right thing and racked it.
Nice job.
