Sissy Squat

Keep the hips open and squat as deeply as you are able without pain.

Cues:

  • Squeeze the glutes to open hips before you move into the squat

  • Continue squeezing glutes throughout entire range

  • Focus more on pushing knees and hips forward than leaning back

Scale: 

  • Adjust range so it is pain free and hips stay completely open with control

  • Shift back to heels under control after negative and stand as a normal squat

Errors:

  • Allowing hip to close during descent

  • Moving too quickly and without control
