Sit Squats

How to perform

1. 01Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
2. 02Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, sitting back with your hips.
3. 03Continue until you have squatted a portion of the way down, but are above parallel, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions.

Form cues

• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
• —Bouncing into the stretch instead of holding it.
