Cable Front Squat (version 2)

A lower‑body compound movement where you perform a squat while holding a cable handle or bar in front of your chest with the cable anchored low. Stand with feet shoulder‑width apart, brace your core, and descend by bending your knees and pushing your hips back while keeping your chest lifted. Drive through your heels to stand back up against the cable’s resistance. This variation emphasizes the quads and improves stability, balance, and squat mechanics with constant tension throughout the motion.
