FRONT SQUAT

The front squat is an ideal exercise for those who do not have access to a gym or do not have a support rack at home. Also, if you are looking for a different exercise to add to your training program then the front squat with THE HELPER is for you. It can be performed as a partial squat, half squat, full squat or wide stance squat. The ability to perform this exercise is based on several physical factors. This concerns the area of the knees and the back.
PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS: For whatever reason many of us have knee problems and back problems. Because of these two factors we choose not to perform the squat. Unfortunately one of the best thigh builders that also affects the heart is the squat. The answer may be with the use of THE HELPER.

WHY THE HELPER?

When using THE HELPER all the weight is in front of you and not resting across your shoulders, which can cause back and knee pain. Because you require only lightweight to obtain results and all the weight is center of mass, it is very possible that those of us with back and knee pain could perform a partial squat. If so, this would bring the quadriceps and the heart muscle into action and provide some development of the thighs. Only through proper pre-stretching and testing it out slowly with only a front partial squat of a few inches down and up at a time will one know for certain his/her ability and capability when performing a partial front squat.
For those without physical limitations a partial, or half, full or wide squat maybe performed. You must find out for yourself what works best for you.
