The Front Squat can be tricky and a little uncomfortable when learning how to properly perform.

Just remember to stick with it, and keep trying your best.

Your flexibility, technique, and strength will improve. I promise this movement will become easier.

Here are the points of performance to remember while front squatting: Hips back, knees out, and chest tall.
