HOW TO FRONT SQUAT: Build Bigger Quads & A Stronger Squat

In this video we’re looking at proper technique on the front squat to maximize muscular development of the quads and strength development on the back squat while avoiding injury. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS: My video on “should the knees go past the toes?“ Is it safe? ‣ My back squat Technique Tuesday video: ‣ You might also really enjoy this video from Alan Thrall for more on improving mobility and getting in the front rack position. ‣ MY TRAINING GEAR DISCOUNTS: My preferred belt for heavy squats and deadlifts: Rise 10mm Lever Belt: Discount JEFF saves $$ ‣ This is a heavy duty belt designed for more advanced trainees with big strength goals. I use it for heavy squats and deadlifts and it is very effective. If you’re new to wearing a belt you may find it “bulky“ at first and it can take some getting used to. Another lighter belt option: Rise Old School Leather Belt: Save 10% using discount JEFF ‣ I like this belt because it’s very lightweight, easy to carry around and doesn’t feel “bulky“ at all around the waist while still doing its job. This belt isn’t designed for high level powerlifters using max weight on squats and deadlifts (a lever belt is better for that - see below) however it is very convenient and effective. I use it mostly for exercises like bent rows, bench presses, shrugs, etc. however will also use it for squats and deadlifts, especially when travelling. If you’re new to wearing a belt, this is probably the best place to get started because it is so comfortable.
