Weighted Sissy Squat

A challenging exercise that targets the quadriceps with added weight.

Instructions

• Secure a weight plate or dumbbell close to your chest.
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold onto a support for balance.
• Rise onto your toes, bending your knees forward while keeping your torso straight.
• Lower yourself until your knees are fully bent, and then push back up to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaning the torso forward instead of keeping it straight.
• Failing to rise onto the toes fully.
• Not bending the knees fully to activate the quadriceps.
• Using too much weight, causing improper form.
