Exercise Description

The rack pin front squat builds massive quad strength and size. It lets you focus on the hardest part of the movement while improving your front squat form.

How To

1. Set the rack pins at about mid-thigh height in a squat rack 2. Load the barbell and position it in the front rack position on your shoulders for the rack pin front squat 3. Start from the bottom position resting on the pins, then drive up through your heels 4. Lower back down to the pins with control and pause for 1-2 seconds 5. Repeat the rack pin front squat movement, focusing on explosive power from the bottom

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows high throughout the entire rack pin front squat movement • Drive through your heels and keep your chest up when standing • Pause on the pins between each rep to reset your position • Keep your knees tracking over your toes during the rack pin front squat

Common Mistakes

• Bouncing off the pins instead of pausing and resetting between reps • Letting your elbows drop during the rack pin front squat, which dumps the weight forward • Setting the pins too high or too low for your body proportions
