If you workout, then you probably know how important squats are to reaching your goal to be lean and fit.There is arguably no better move to strengthen your quads, glutes, core and get you the look and performance you want.But just doing regular squats 12 months a year could lead to a plateau of stagnant progress.
Enter the front squat.
Not only will this movement be a fun switch up, it’s amazing for strengthening the quads, abs and getting your whole body stronger.

How To Do Front Squats Properly
To summarize, when doing Front Squats, we prefer the “Hook grip.” Brace your core, push your hips back and down to lower down. When you get to the bottom, push through your feet to explosively stand back up.
When starting out, a warm-up plus 4 sets of 5-6 reps is great range. As you advance, you can progress to even lower reps.
