Sissy Squat with Bands - Get More Growth & Less Knee Stress!

Показать описание

#quadsworkout #legday
The sissy squat is a great quad building exercise, but it can often be very difficult to do especially without a machine.

This variation of a sissy squat using a resistance band is an excellent choice for a great quad building exercise that you can do at home, in the gym, or pretty much anywhere.

The band helps to take a lot of stress off your knees because it supports the tibia in a vertical position, as opposed to traditional sissy squats where your knee extends far over your toes. The band also helps to absorb some of the shock loading during the changeover portion of the rep, where peak knee stress occurs.

Furthermore, at the very top of the rep when you straighten your leg and flex the quad muscles, the band actually adds resistance so you can get even more muscle activation and fatigue, which will drive more growth and strength building!

The banded sissy squat can be used as an alternative to sissy squat machines, which are specialty pieces of equipment that can usually only be found in gyms.

I have been doing these in a Myo Rep style and quite honestly it is all I need for my quads in that one session.
Anybody with back issues these are great.
Just concentrate on the squeeze as he says.
Thank you for the great presentation.

Ive been looking for a good way to do sissy squats at home. This is great thanks.

So COOL! Learned something new! Stopped going to the gym a couple of years ago because of all the exercise techniques of the Clench Fitness bands! This is a great addition! As always Brandon, thank you and KEEP ON ROCKING!

Really great video, thank you. This movement is superb for those of us with back issues where putting a band or bar on the shoulders compresses the spine and causes sciatic aggravation. Thanks again.

Great stuff - thanks for cranking out the supporting content. Enjoying my bands, anchors, and footplate and will try this exercise today!

Very good teaching. I now understand the way to do a banded sissy squat.

I have this set up, IT IS BY FAR the BEST Quad exercise EVER!!! I can do 3 sets of 5 reps, slow positive and negative and squeeze like crazy at the end and I am in tears from the burn.

I’ve been doing these for a few months to help with knee mobility, VMO weakness and associated patellar tendinopathy. I do them before leg press or any kind of single leg or back squats. They have been incredibly helpful.

Very creative and helpful indeed. Congrats!

This is a really good alternative for those who don't have access to a cable machine with the triceps rope pushdown attachment to perform. Saved to my playlist.

Just did these after squats and trapbar deadlifts. Quads are burning

Great video, very informative. Can you use this band method to target the glutes and hams as well?

Thanks you just saved me buying a sissy squat bench.

I always like to keep no less than a 90° angle from the hips, sometimes 120°. Always starting the lift by pushing/extending from the hip first before flexing from the knee. Rectus femoris will be far more engaged at this lengthened angle.

Thank you again Brandon for another terrific video! I noticed I wasn't doing those correctly, thanks for the readjustment. Also, would doing these with a wide stance be something you'd suggest doing?
