The dumbbell front rack squat is a low intensity squat that requires more stabilization than barbell movements. It is great for conditioning, or building strength that supports heavier lifts.
Cues:
- Secure the weights in the front rack position
- Keeping elbows high and generating external rotation through the shoulders will help to stabilize the position
- Squat deep and keep the chest upright
Mistakes:
- Losing the front rack – reduce weight
- Squatting poorly
