ABSTRACT:
A method of performing the front squat exercise and a weight lifting device for distributing the load of a weight lifting barbell during the performance of the front squat exercise is provided which transfers a majority of the load of the barbell to the anterior deltoid muscle areas of the weight lifter. The weight lifting device of the present invention comprises a pair of barbell supports, each having a lower surface contoured to fit and conform to the anterior deltoid muscle areas of the weight lifter and an upper surface for attaching to the shaft of a barbell. The method of performing the front squat exercise in which the weight lifter's legs are used to alternately raise and lower the upper portion of the body while maintaining the spine in an erect position comprises the steps of supporting the shaft of the barbell laterally above the clavicle and in front of the throat of the weight lifter using a weight lifting device for distributing a majority of the load of the barbell along the deltoid muscle areas of the weight lifter.
