Important CrossFit Exercises – FRONT SQUAT
The Front Squat has always been a staple exercise in Olympic weightlifting programs, as it serves as the base for the catch position in the clean. But since people tend to lift more weight with Back Squats and may find keeping the rack position of the bar difficult, front squats are often neglected.
When done correctly, Front Squats will:
- Increase the depth of the movement
- Improve core strength
- Activate glutes
- Improve related exercises such as Thrusters or Squat Cleans
- Build Strength
