3) Front Squats.

As all squats this exercise works all of the legs, with a special accent on the outside part of the quadriceps.
The exercise is basically the same as the regular squats with the barbell behind the neck, the difference being that the barbell doesn’t go behind the neck this time but rather in the front resting on the subject’s shoulders and held in place with the hands.
The execution is the same as that of the regular squats.
Special considerations: - because the weight is in the front now, keeping the back straight becomes more of a challenge. Pay special attention to it to avoid injury.
