Football Athlete Front Box Squat

Elite Football Athlete, John Witherspoon, performing a heavy set of Barbell Front Box Squats.

We use many squatting variations with our athletes, with this being one of them.

Front squats utilize the quads a little bit more than our regular box squats. This variation also challenges the athlete's core as it is a little bit more challenging to balance the weight when it is placed in the front squat position.

At Elite, we like to rotate our main movements, like the squat, every 3 weeks.
