QUADS

Partner Hook Squat

IntermediateBodyweight

The partner hook squat is a bodyweight squat done back-to-back with a training partner, arms interlocked for mutual support. Pressing into each other lets you balance and hold the squat position, working the quads and glutes. It's a cooperative exercise that also builds trust, timing, and teamwork.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand back-to-back with your partner and interlock your arms at the elbows.

  2. 2

    Set your feet about shoulder-width apart.

  3. 3

    Keeping steady pressure against each other's backs, slowly walk your feet forward as you both bend your knees.

  4. 4

    Lower your hips until your ankles, knees, and hips are all bent to about 90 degrees.

  5. 5

    Hold the seated position by squeezing your quads and glutes while your cores stay braced.

  6. 6

    Walk your feet back under you and press through your legs to stand, supporting each other the whole way.
