Front squats (front squats)

Preparation

Pull the Handle bar through the loop. Adjust the carriage so that the Handle bar is in a low squatting position slightly above the chest.

Starting position

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, facing the wall. Place the Handle bar slightly below the shoulders on the chest. Point your elbows forward and cross your hands over the horn.

Execution

Stand up using your leg strength. The center of gravity is placed slightly forward. The back remains straight and under tension.

Hint

Use a low stool to get under the Handle bar from a sitting position (height approx. 30 cm).

Variants

The foot position can be moved slightly forwards or backwards.

Warning

The squat is a technically demanding exercise. We recommend learning it with light resistance.
