Equipment
The Safety Bar Front Squat is a lower body exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps while also engaging core stabilizers. This variation uses a safety bar, allowing for a more upright torso position, which can reduce strain on the lower back.
How to do it
- Position the safety bar across your shoulders, securing it comfortably.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
- Engage your core and lower into a squat, keeping your chest upright.
- Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
- Press through your heels to return to the starting position.
