Exercise Description

The wide stance front squat builds massive quad and glute strength while hitting your inner thighs harder than regular squats. Perfect for athletes who need power and stability.

How To

1. Set up the barbell in a front rack position across your shoulders, elbows high 2. Step your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward 3. Keep your chest up and core tight as you begin the wide stance front squat movement 4. Lower down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees until thighs are parallel 5. Drive through your heels to stand back up, keeping the wide stance front squat form throughout

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows high throughout the entire wide stance front squat to prevent the bar from rolling • Push your knees out in line with your toes to engage your glutes properly • Don't let your torso lean forward - stay upright during the wide stance front squat • Take a deep breath at the top and hold it during the descent for core stability

Common Mistakes

• Letting the elbows drop during the wide stance front squat, which causes the bar to slide forward • Knees caving inward instead of tracking over the toes throughout the movement • Using a stance that's too wide in the wide stance front squat, which limits your depth and power
