Front Squat Form Check

[Code_B]

Trying to get advice on my form and what I am doing wrong. The bar has a problem of rolling/sliding so thats obviously a problem. I hold it palms over heart style. The 225X1 my knees felt a bit wobbly.

Well that is not the oly style of holding the bar. Learn to do oly style and hold your elbows up the entire time. I have to force my elbows up and this will keep you with a nice arch in your back. It is the same position as the bottom of the clean.

Looks like you have some PL-style 'sitting back' going on, and your hips rise first out of the bottom resulting in some good-morning type action. Let your torso drop between your hips and keep your torso upright throughout the lift.

Stance might be a little wide.

Slow your descent down a bit, you are rocketing into the bottom!

And if you are doing these for oly training, ditch that cross-arm grip.

He wasn't doing a good morning, but the hips did rise first. Everything else, I agree.

Not for oly training, but I might try to work on the "snatch grip"???I think its called??? I'll work on the torso positioning definitely. Thanks

If the hips rise first, the back then has to go through loaded extension - similar to a good morning. I wasn't confusing the two lifts. Back extension during a front squat should be avoided if you want to stay healthy.

ditch the cross grip and use the clean grip:



make sure to get your elbows high and the bar will rest on your shoulders, the bar will not roll if it's secured in this position.

am I the only one having trouble with the video?

Ok thanks. Yeah clean grip lol. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than a snatch grip. wtf was I thinking

It was depressing to hear such a good song bastardized like that.
