What are Sissy Squats?

The sissy squat is a top exercise for building quads, working on your hip flexors and strengthening your core simultaneously. It involves locking your feet in a fixed position and leaning right back, with the tension on your thighs, before bringing yourself up again - most easily completed with a Sissy Squat Machine.

Sissy Squat Machines consist of a platform that you stand on, with a vertical pad for your calves to rest against and a bar that locks your feet in place. 

They allow you to perform supported squats which means you can push your weight right back without losing your balance.  

While there are ways to complete the complex exercise without a Sissy Squat Bench, like any exercise, it’s far more beneficial if you have the right equipment.

How to perform a Sissy Squat?

To perform a sissy squat movement, you need to -

• Lock your feet into position using the locking pin and adjustable support bar 
• Lean back into a squat while maintaining tension on your thighs 
• Bring yourself back up again 
• Repeat  

As an extra challenge, lean back while in a squat position. This will really engage your quads and core and you can also do it with a weight plate.

Sissy Squats Work Your Quads.

Sissy are particularly good for targeting your quads, and also work your hip flexors and core.  

Once you have mastered the traditional sissy squat, you can make them harder by leaning your whole body back. This will add to the amount of weight your quads need to support as you come back. 

You can also progress your sissy squat exercises by holding a dumbbell or a weight plate. This will make them even harder so you can carry on strengthening and building muscle.
