Front Squat

Purpose of this exercise: TO WORK THE QUADRICEPS, GLUTEUS MAXIMUS, SACROSPINALIS, DELTOID, HAMSTRINGS

This exercise doesn't use the back as much as other squats. Because of this the leg muscles are isolated and you won't be able to lift as much. The quads, gluteus maximus, sacrospinalis, deltoid and hamstring are the muscles worked. Stability can be improved by using weight-lifting shoes.

Technique

1.	Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointed slightly outward.
2.	Hold the bar on your chest and squat down until your gluteals are 1 inch below the knee.
3.	Return to the starting position.

CAUTIONS!!

• Do this exercise with good control because you can easily lose your balance.
• Never exercise without a competent spotter.
