The Missing Front Squat Ingredient

The Front Squat is a great exercise for the athlete, bodybuilder, powerlifter, or for people with general fitness goals, but the negative aspects of the movement bring a ton of excess baggage. Most strength coaches prefer the Olympic clean style grip because it gives the lifter a wider “rack” on the bar and therefore more stability. The problem with this conventional grip is that it’s almost impossible for anyone with shoulder, elbow or wrist problems and most lifters lack the necessary flexibility in these joints anyway. This grip also requires external rotation of the Humerus (upper arm bone) stressing the shoulder joint and mechanically causing even more limits on flexibility. The crossed arm grip has a load of downsides too. Narrow rack with less stability, more crush to the shoulders and it’s harder to keep the bar from rolling back into the throat, or down the arms. No wonder the front squat is usually tried once and tossed out. With either grip (conventional or crossed arm), the bar can rest on the collar bone, press down on the sternum and cause the lifter to run out of breath long before leg strength. Now, the Sting Ray removes all these negatives from one of the most powerful exercises available.
