QUADS

Bodyweight Squat Hold

BeginnerBodyweight

An isometric squat where you sink to depth and hold the position rather than repping out. The constant tension builds endurance and stability in the quads and reinforces good squat mechanics. A great no-equipment drill for laying down foundational leg strength and control.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Keep your core engaged and your chest up throughout.

  3. 3

    Hinge your hips back and bend your knees to lower into a squat with a neutral spine.

  4. 4

    Extend your arms in front of you for balance if it helps.

  5. 5

    Sink until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor and your knees are around 90 degrees.

  6. 6

    Hold that position for the prescribed time, keeping your quads engaged.
