2 of 3Front squat: The load in the front squat requires a more upright torso positon requiring a bit more quad activation and challenges the core a bit more with the load further from the hips. It stabilizes the load a bit to connect the dumbbells but more challinging core wise to leave them independent. The mini-bands activates glutes a bit more driving the knees out. Bench is just a depth gauge/target. Weight is not entirely in heels but spread evenly in the foot. Most will put too much weight forward in the foot, so we over cue heels.

3 of 3Two faults to look for in the clean or squat clean (OTF named clean to front squat). Really wish I grabbed a body to demonstrate the visual/kinesthetic cue. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have no clue what I’m talking about.
