Sissy Squat

The Sissy Squat is a unique bodyweight exercise primarily targeting the quadriceps while minimizing hip involvement, making it an effective way to isolate and strengthen the front of the thighs.

Key Features:

• Knee-Focused Movement: Unlike traditional squats that involve both knee and hip flexion, the sissy squat emphasizes knee extension by keeping the hips locked in place, allowing for greater activation of the quadriceps, particularly the rectus femoris.
• Bodyweight Exercise: Requires no additional equipment, making it accessible for anyone to perform anywhere, whether at home or in the gym.
• Stability Support: Beginners may benefit from holding onto a sturdy object, such as a squat rack or wall, to maintain balance during the exercise.
• Muscle Growth: Highly effective at developing quad strength and size due to its unique movement pattern that places significant tension directly on the quadriceps.
• Improved Flexibility: The extended range of motion helps enhance flexibility in the knees and hip flexors.
• Core Engagement: While primarily targeting the legs, sissy squats also engage core muscles for stability, contributing to overall balance and strength.

Overall, the sissy squat is a valuable addition to any leg workout routine, offering a distinct approach to quad training that can lead to significant muscle development.
