Exercise Description

The narrow stance front squat hits your quads harder than regular squats. It builds leg strength while making your core work overtime to stay balanced.

How To

1. Set the barbell in the rack at shoulder height and add weight plates 2. Step under the bar and cross your arms over your chest, gripping the bar with your fingertips or use a clean grip 3. Lift the bar off the rack and take 2-3 steps back, feet hip-width apart or slightly narrower 4. Keep your chest up and core tight as you lower into a narrow stance front squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor 5. Drive through your heels to stand back up, keeping the narrow stance front squat form tight throughout the movement

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows high during the narrow stance front squat to prevent the bar from rolling forward • Your knees should track over your toes, not cave inward • Stay on your heels and midfoot - don't let your weight shift to your toes during the narrow stance front squat • Keep your core braced like someone's about to punch your stomach

Common Mistakes

• Letting the bar roll forward because your elbows drop during the narrow stance front squat • Taking too wide of a stance - this defeats the purpose of the narrow stance front squat exercise • Leaning forward too much instead of keeping your torso upright throughout the movement
