Front Squats

Initiate this lift by pushing your knees forward into flexion, as opposed to hinging at the hips first. That’ll help keep the tension on your quads more throughout the ROM.

Own the transitions. Don’t bounce yourself out of the bottom; that’s where all the real gains come from. Allowing momentum to bounce you off the bottom is also not at all good on the knees. Keep your body healthy by controlling every aspect of this and every movement it makes under load.

Often times, what fatigues fastest in this variation is the thoracic spine (upper back). To guard against this, ensure your elbows stay up high. Once they begin to droop down the bar is gonna fall victim to the forces of gravity and pull your posture along with it.
