Perform a squat while supporting a barbell, or other object, on your front shoulders. Starting from a fully erect position, lower yourself, and the barbell, to a position where the crease in your hips rests lower than the height of your knees, and stand back up. Safe/efficient technique requires all of your weight to stay in your heels, wide knees, a tight core, and high elbows (triceps parallel to the ground). The front squat can also be found in a Squat Clean and a Thruster. It is a more quad-dominant variation of the squat due to a greater hip angle at the bottom
