Exercise Profile

Elastics Front Squats Overview

The elastics front squats workout is designed to primarily target the quads and glutes.

By incorporating elastic bands into the exercise, it adds resistance and intensifies the muscle engagement.

The elastics are attached to a barbell and provide a constant tension throughout the movement, maximizing the effectiveness of the workout.

Elastics Front Squats Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  2. Place an elastic band around your upper back, crossing it over your shoulders and holding the ends in each hand.
  3. Hold the elastic band with your palms facing forward, keeping your elbows up and in line with your shoulders.
  4. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and your core engaged.
  5. As you squat down, keep tension on the elastic band by pulling it apart with your hands.
  6. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, keeping the tension on the elastic band throughout the movement.

Elastics Front Squats Tips

  1. Start with a light resistance band and gradually increase tension as your strength improves.
  2. Place the band just above your knees to engage your glutes and activate your quads throughout the exercise.
  3. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly pointed outwards to maintain stability and target the desired muscle groups.
  4. As you lower into the squat, focus on pushing your knees outwards against the resistance band to further engage your glutes and quads.
  5. Maintain an upright posture throughout the movement, keeping your chest lifted and core engaged to prevent strain on your lower back.
  6. Exhale as you push through your heels to return to the starting position, squeezing your glutes and quads for maximum contraction.
