Equipment
The Weighted Sissy Squat is a challenging lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, enhancing muscle definition and strength. It utilizes a weight plate for added resistance, increasing the intensity of the movement and promoting muscle hypertrophy and stability.
How to do it
- Hold a weight plate close to your chest with both hands, standing beside a bench for support.
- Position your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward.
- Lean back slightly as you bend at the knees, lowering your body while keeping your core engaged.
- Lower as far as comfortable, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Ensure your knees don't extend past your toes during the squat.
