How To Front Squat Correctly And Safely

The Front Squat is an excellent squatting variation that requires you to place the barbell on your anterior shoulders rather than on your back.

– The Front Squat improves mobility in the shoulders, wrists, hips, ankles, knees, and thoracic spine – It also places less stress on the low back, allowing you to train the squat in the presence of minor low back strain
