Exercise Description

The sissy squat builds massive quad strength and size by isolating your thighs. It's one of the best bodyweight moves for quad development.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, toes pointed forward 2. Rise up onto your toes and keep your heels elevated throughout the sissy squat 3. Lean your torso back while bending your knees forward, keeping your body in a straight line from knees to head 4. Lower down until your knees almost touch the ground, feeling a deep stretch in your quads during the sissy squat 5. Push through your toes to return to the starting position, keeping your core tight

Form Tips

• Keep your body straight from knees to head during the sissy squat - don't bend at the hips • Stay on your toes the entire time for proper sissy squat form • Control the descent slowly to maximize muscle tension • Keep your core engaged to maintain balance throughout the movement

Common Mistakes

• Bending at the hips instead of keeping your torso straight during the sissy squat • Letting your heels touch the ground, which reduces the effectiveness of the sissy squat • Going too fast and losing control of the movement
