How To Perform Sissy Squat
- Stand while lightly holding a fixed support (such as a pole or machine handle) with one hand to prepare. Place your feet closer than shoulder-width apart and keep your heels firmly on the floor.
- Maintain an upright torso and, without pushing your hips back,
- drive your knees forward as your entire body leans backward in a straight line.
- Keep the feeling that your knees, hips, and shoulders form one straight line throughout the movement.
- Lower until you feel strong tension in your quadriceps, then
- exhale as you extend your knees using the strength of your quadriceps to return to the starting position.
- Throughout the entire movement, minimize hip involvement and focus on knee extension.
