For those new to this exercise, don't try to use the same amount of weight from your regular squat, because it ain't gonna happen. Due to the position of the bar it will roll forward on you, if your shoulders aren't strong enough to hold the angle. Just like with any other new exercise, start with a lower weight to get used to the proper form, then move up later on. No point in injuring yourself due to ego issues.-See Less

Looking down causes the lower back to round, almost dumping the bar forward and the strain of maintain bar position falls on the biceps, which can lead to numerous issues. If proper posture is maintained, the torso and legs take the weight of the bar, which is rather the point of the exercise, yes?

I am trying to be charitable, but one of my athletes performing a 'front squat' in that manner would be cut.-See Less

This exercise is excellent for the quadriceps and the core as the position requires the practitioner to keep there elbows up. This is an excellent exercise for the beginner (using very light weight) as it teaches the balance that is necessary for heavier back squats and the olympic lifts. -See Less

Tip: Front Barbell Squat

Nov 2, 2009 11:31 AM: Keep your elbows up, with the bar on the shoulders and touching the throat. The model doesn't have good bar positioning and is not keeping his head and elbows up, so he is getting yanked forward with 95 pounds.
