When it comes to squat variations, my strong suit is the front squat due to having strong quad muscles — in the video I demonstrate the front squat from the back side view, doing 135 lbs on the barbell & making sure to hit the 90 degree angle on the way down and bringing the weight back up evenly against my traps.
Now this video might not show close up insight or a step by step direction — but you see the squat form and the depth I am doing in order to hit full ROM (range of motion). If you are new to this exercise or any form of exercise, be sure to start off with lighter loads to work on technique/form.
Muscles utilized:
Quadriceps
glutes
adductor magnus
soleus
hamstrings
gastrocnemius
erector spinane
anterior/lateral delts
suprapinatus
rhomboids
upper/middle/lower back
