Weighted Sissy Squat
The Weighted Sissy Squat is a strength movement that targets your quadriceps. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Weighted Sissy Squat
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a weight plate at your chest, and secure your heels on a slight elevation if needed.
- Lean back and bend the knees simultaneously, lowering your torso toward the floor while rising onto your toes.
- Descend until your knees nearly touch the ground, then drive back to the start by contracting your quads.
- Keep your hips extended throughout — the torso and thighs should move as one unit.
