Front squats are a variation of the regular squat that target the quads, glutes, and core. To perform a front squat with a barbell, follow these steps:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell across your chest with your elbows pointing forward.
Brace your core and keep your chest up as you lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the floor or slightly lower.
Push through your heels and drive your elbows up as you stand back up to the starting position.
