The Front Squat: CrossFit Foundational Movement

Показать описание
CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the front squat.

In CrossFit, we start with nine foundational movements presented in three series:
1. Squat: air squat, front squat, overhead squat.
2. Press: shoulder press, push press, push jerk.
3. Deadlift: deadlift, sumo deadlift high pull, medicine ball clean.

Each series presents the movements in a progression. They build off each other, moving from simple to more complex mechanics. Success in each movement depends on sound mechanics in the movement(s) preceding it. Flaws in the simpler movements are exposed and punished across the progression. These movements illustrate common themes in proper execution for most functional movements. Themes such as midline stabilization, posterior-chain engagement, core-to-extremity movement patterns, full range of motion about the joints, and active shoulders. Learning these nine movements develops a broad base of athletic capacity, such that proficiency with them provides a platform to easily tackle other movements.


CrossFit is the world’s leading platform for improving health and performance. In the 20 years since its founding, CrossFit has grown from a garage gym in Santa Cruz, California, into the world’s most effective program for improving health and performance through nutrition and exercise. CrossFit is the world’s leading provider of accredited performance-based training courses and certifications and has more than 125,000 credentialed coaches across the world. The program can be modified to welcome people of all ages and abilities and millions of people have already experienced CrossFit’s transformational benefits in more than 13,000 affiliated gyms across 158 countries. CrossFit also directs the CrossFit Games season, beginning with the annual CrossFit Open, through which athletes at every level compete worldwide, and culminating in the CrossFit Games, where top athletes compete for the title of Fittest on Earth®.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't get my arms up that high. If I do, the bar is up against my throat. Not my favorite move.

Am I the only one who feels like this position is physically impossible?? I'm a pretty flexible guy and I've been working on this for years, but I still can't get my "elbows high" enough. I think my humerus and radius/ ulnar needs to be longer in order for this to work. Any advice?..

Lo hice hoy con poco peso para corregir técnica y me dolían mucho las muñecas
Habrá algún tips para evitar esa molestia durante la ejecución ?

if she has that slight so called "butt wink" at the bottom with just the bar, then i don't even want to imagine it in a heavy squat
