With front squats and HB, I try to curl my toes, and rotate my feet outward. My feet don’t really move, but it kind of ques my glutes. I find that it helps keep my core tight and get my hips through.
I’ve tried to do it back squat, I go low bar and wide stance. It just doesn’t work with that.
I can’t remember where I read that advice from.

I am absolutely going to give that a shot. Thanks a lot.
I’ve learned a lot from the SquatRx Series that have been around for awhile. You may enjoy them as well.

For me personally, I’m about finished with smolov for front squats and I feel its helped my form a lot. Something about doing front squats 4x a week I guess. Especially if you video record each set, try to figure out how your form looks, and fix mistakes as you go.

I’ve checked all of em’ out. Great stuff. A lot to implement, but they’ve helped me out a lot.

Likely at some point down the road I’ll run smolov. How much did your front squat improve from it?
