How To Front Squat (WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CHEST UP!)
A proper front squat requires you keep your chest upright. Today Dr. Aaron Horschig breaks down the 2 common faults that push your chest forward and kill your performance during the front squat.
1) Limited Ankle Mobility
2) Poor Core Stability
In order to keep your chest upright and sink into a deep front squat your knees must be able to travel forward towards, or even past your toes. This will allow your body to stay balanced in the deep position. If your knees are unable to move forward as you descend due to limited ankle mobility, your chest will have to collapse forward as compensation.
However, if you are able to get into a good bottom position but your chest still collapses on the ascent, we can assume the problem is more so due to poor stability. This is because the mobility demands for the front squat are highest in the bottom position. The zombie no hands front squat is one of my favorite training tools to improve your stability in a very movement specific manner.
