How to Do the Sissy Squat

From here you then bend at the knees keeping your back straight as though you were doing the limbo and should feel an intense burning in your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.

Eventually, with practice, it should become more comfortable - at which point you can introduce dumbbells by holding them in your hands and having them dangle directly down by your sides.

Some go as far as to say that it's impossible to improve past a certain level without squatting.

As well as being an excellent compound movement that uses almost every muscle in the body, it also triggers the release of certain desirable chemicals such as growth hormones.

It's versatile too, and once you've got your technique down you can start experimenting with variations - holding the barbell in front of you across your chest, adding on a shoulder press, or leaving the weights altogether and doing a 'sissy squat'.

One great workout even involves doing nothing but squats for an entire legs session -twenty reps of squats to be precise.
