Welcome to Listy Fix. I'm Danny Lehr. And we're going to talk about keeping an upright torso in your cleans and front squats. So what we're going to do here is just go ahead and do a front squat.
And what the problem some people have is they really struggle to keep an upright torso. Just going forward and doing that thing, OK? So do I. So, you can do one good one first, one good front squat, chest is up, and then do a bad one, it gets to the bottom, and on the way up, oh, just drop in.
So, a lot of times what we find is when people squat, front squat, and they're cleans, and they're back squats, it's not a lace strength issue. Look at this bad boy. You've got a lace and squat, but probably might be a midline issue. Your lace can push up.
But if your core, your midline can maintain that upright core, so that upright posture, then you're not going anywhere. So this is a great drill to fix that. So what we're going to do over here is... You have the bar loaded up, nothing too crazy.
All of that, you know, talking about body weight. I'm just kidding, it's about 50% body weight and stuff. And so what it's gonna do is it's gonna go ahead into two power, get up on your shoulders, that front rack position, and we're using unilateral work to really enforce that midline stability. So if you do step ups, all right, go ahead.
and the whole time he's fighting. Go ahead, just do a couple of curves. He's fine to keep his elbows up in that good chest up position. He can go into the switch legs, he wants you to walk in circles.
There he is. So a great drill to enforce that upright torso and help you get your chest up into the squat. Be careful, but it's a great drill for that.
