• front squat form
• thoracic spine extension

What it concludes

• Holding the front rack position under load for sustained time provides specific positional tolerance and mobility.
• Counterbalancing with a front weight during air squats helps sit straight down without falling backward.
• Adding plates under the heels is an acceptable way to give yourself slack and elevate your heels if your front squat needs assistance.
• Soft-tissue work like foam rolling lats is a helpful adjunct but should not replace specific positional teaching for the front rack.
