StretchingBeginnerPush
Primary muscles: Quadriceps
Secondary muscles: Abductors, Glutes, Hamstrings
How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
- Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, sitting back with your hips.
- Continue until you have squatted a portion of the way down, but are above parallel, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Sit Squats from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
