front squat
Rack position squat
A front squat is a weightlifting exercise where the barbell rests across the front of the shoulders rather than behind the neck.
The position requires an upright torso and places more emphasis on the quadriceps and core than a back squat: My front squat is about 80% of my back squat.
The exercise is fundamental to Olympic lifting, as it mirrors the receiving position of a clean.
