Learn how to coach bar path in the front squat using precise observation and smart tactile feedback. This video demonstrates how to identify when the bar travels forward, landmark the fault on the athlete's body, and use a PVC pipe to create awareness without being overly aggressive with correction. See how to progressively challenge the athlete as they improve, making the cue harder only when they're ready.
