Ring Sissy Squat

Technique

How to perform Ring Sissy Squat

1. Stand facing the rings and grasp the handles with arms extended at chest height and feet hip-width apart and then step back to put tension in the straps.
2. Engage your core, rise onto the balls of your feet, and lean back slightly while keeping a straight line from head to knees.
3. Inhale as you bend your knees forward, keeping hips extended, allowing them to travel over your toes while your torso leans back, using the straps for balance.
4. Descend until your knees reach a comfortable depth and your thighs create a strong stretch in the quadriceps.
5. Exhale as you press through the balls of your feet and pull lightly on the straps to return to the upright position with knees extended.
6. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
