Barbell Front Squat with Resistance Band

The barbell front squat with resistance band attaches resistance bands from the floor anchors to the ends of a barbell during a front squat. The bands provide accommodating resistance, increasing tension as you stand up. It overloads the lockout where the legs are strongest and builds explosive squat power.
