ExercisesGeneral Training
Written By

The weighted wall sit is used to develop strength in the legs without requiring eccentric contractions. It is a good tool to build volume during periods of high training demand.

Cues:

  • Position yourself so your knees and hips are each bent to 90 degree angles

  • Keep your heels on the floor and low back against the wall

  • Hold a weight of your choice away from your body

Mistakes:

  • Resting the weight on your legs

  • Arching the low back away from the wall

  • Heels coming up and placing too much weight in the balls of the feet
