Band Squat
Standing on the band with the loop over the shoulders; resistance peaks at the top of the rise.
How to do it
Setup
Stand on the band, loop over the shoulders or held at the chest; feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Squat to parallel or below.
- The band pulls hardest at the top – finish the lockout strong.
- Keep the knees tracking out against the band.
Common mistakes
Letting the band snap you down: resist it; the negative is loaded too. Band drifting on the shoulders: set it before the set. Knees pulled inward: the band WANTS that; push out.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
