Adiletix - Kettlebell Front Squat - Step-by-Step Guide
Kettlebell Front Squat
1 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out, holding one or two kettlebells in the rack position (kettlebells resting on the back of your forearms, elbows high, close to your body).
2 - Brace your core, keep your chest tall, and ensure your elbows remain elevated throughout the movement.
3 - Initiate the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees simultaneously, descending in a controlled manner.
4 - Lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, keeping your knees tracking over your toes and your torso as upright as possible.
5 - Drive through your heels and mid-foot to push the floor away, extending your hips and knees to return to the standing position.
6 - Keep the kettlebells stable in the rack position throughout the entire movement and avoid letting your elbows drop.
