Band Front Squat

How to do it

  1. Stand on the center of a resistance band with the feet shoulder width apart and loop the ends over the front of the shoulders.
  2. Hold the band ends against the shoulders with the elbows pointed forward in a front rack position.
  3. Brace the core and reach the hips back and down while keeping the torso upright against the band tension.
  4. Lower until the thighs reach at least parallel, keeping the knees tracking over the toes throughout.
  5. Drive through the heels, extending the quadriceps and gluteus maximus, to press against the increasing band resistance.
  6. Keep the band tension constant and avoid letting the torso pitch forward as the legs extend.
