Hi max, I’m coming from years and years of low bars and now working on some oly stuff and front squats. I find in the bottom my body wants to push my hips back to take over. Essentially I end up doing a front squat in a low bar position, damaged my lower back and glute from this already. Assuming it’s being stronger in the back rather than the legs, gonna drop the weight and learn it front scratch
I had this problem when I started the transition from powerlifting to weightlifting. I found that doing Zombie Front Squats really helped because if you lose that vertical torso angle the bar just rolls off. For accessories I found belt squats (Max Aita advocates for the use of these as well) and goblet squats helped coordinate the vertical torso angle into the squat pattern and secondarily helped with ankle mobility too
I now have a new right shoulder that is fourteen months old and repaired left shoulder that was corrected seven months ago. I am pair free but I cannot seem to get the mobility for the rack. Any pointers for gaining mobility?
Maybe you would do better when using a cross grip. For me it seems to be anatomically impossible to use the Olympic grip visible in the video so I do cross grip which works great
Unfortunately my Adam's apple gets in the way and my arms don't bend like shown. For people here that do the front squat, how much weight in relation to your standard high bar squat are you using? Thank you.
Don't know if there's a point responding after 2 years but anyway: when you start of you should go significantly lighter than 80% of your back squat since the feel is completely different. Upper back is what makes you fail front squats, you first need to learn to remain stable in your upper back. For the first issue I personally use a cross grip, the grip shown in the video seems impossible for me, my arms are too long, many hate on the cross grip alternative but I've found it to work quite well. At first you'll feel a bit choked because of the awkward position but it will go away as you get used to the exercise
Not really related to the video but i need a tip ! I experience a little butt-wink during back squats but none during front squats ! Any reason why ? ( Thanks in advance to anyone for your suggestions !)
Butt wink usually happens when the head of the femur runs into the hip socket and stops the hip from closing any more. Since you're more upright while front squatting (hip more open) you can get deeper before the bones make contact.
Check your ankle mobility. If you stand with your toes 5 inches away from the wall you should be able to touch the wall with your knee without your heel coming up.
Hot damn! Those quads!!
Holy quads
the plate boxes (as opposed to spindles) are such a great idea!

Just in time for leg monday ! Awsome
Front squat is not for legs. Its for How much you can rack on your shoulders.
@@francik4225 ok I'll do it on shoulder day
...
Does this make sense to you?
Brilliant video ! I hope you can make some videos on STEP UP exercise !!!
Thank you Coach.
Wish I watched this before my training session this morning

She pretty and her quads
Keep it up
Hi Janyce
can u help me reach the 200kg front squat to the end of the year? i had a bet with a friend (im now around 160kg)
I now have a new right shoulder that is fourteen months old and repaired left shoulder that was corrected seven months ago. I am pair free but I cannot seem to get the mobility for the rack. Any pointers for gaining mobility?

80-85%. But my front rack is not a limiting factor.
same here man!
when Forearms are longer than the biceps, this is bound to happen
@@sourikray1997 mine are too and I don’t have this problem at all
@@sourikray1997 do fs zombie style. no excuses.

Damn son she can crush you with her legs

Well one would assume it's because your angles are less acute with a front squat
Butt wink usually happens when the head of the femur runs into the hip socket and stops the hip from closing any more. Since you're more upright while front squatting (hip more open) you can get deeper before the bones make contact.

Very nice video.
Is it or too close to her throat or should it be touching
Jesus christ, this woman is an Amazon!
😀😀😀
Barbell chokes me when i tries front squat... :/
It's not a confortable position. So yea, it chokes everyone.
Stop deep throating the bar man. Thats gheyyyy
dont be a pus*sy
I break with the hips first because otherwise my knees hurt and the movement feels off

@@jordan-kristina2014 no issue at all
RP shorts :)
Am I mad or did the man really say "snatch manual"?
Crazy quads especially for a woman
Snatch manual... yeah! I know you meant lol
Such manly legs on a female...respect.
wouldn't call them manly
@@frankchen4229 Agreed. One of the reasons Gironda shied away from large legs training was that he considered them a female look.
