Exercise Description

The single leg squat from bench builds serious leg strength and fixes muscle imbalances. It challenges your balance while making your quads and glutes work harder than regular squats.

How To

1. Stand on one leg at the edge of a bench, letting your other leg hang off the side. 2. Keep your chest up and core tight as you begin the single leg squat from bench movement. 3. Lower your body by bending your standing knee, going down as far as you can control. 4. Push through your heel to return to the starting position for the single leg squat from bench. 5. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other side.

Form Tips

• Keep your knee tracking over your toes during the single leg squat from bench to protect your joint. • Go slow on the way down to build more strength and control. • Don't let your working leg cave inward - keep it strong and stable throughout the single leg squat from bench. • Use your arms for balance but don't rely on them to help you up.

Common Mistakes

• Dropping too fast without control, which reduces the benefit of the single leg squat from bench exercise. • Letting the knee collapse inward, putting stress on the joint and reducing power. • Not going deep enough in the single leg squat from bench - aim for at least 90 degrees if possible.
