Do you want bigger quads? Try sissy squats!

  • Sissy squats are a hybrid exercise combining aspects of leg extensions and squats, focusing on the quadriceps.
  • They allow for a full range of motion, maximizing quad development by keeping the torso vertical during the movement.
  • Best performed at high repetition counts, these squats are intense and can be made more challenging with added weights like dumbbells.
  • Investing in a sissy squat apparatus for a home gym can be cost-effective compared to a leg extension machine.
