Bodyweight Bench Squat
The bodyweight squat to a bench behind you; the touch sets the same depth every rep.
How to do it
Setup
Standing a half-step in front of a bench, feet hip-width, hands at the chest.
Steps
- Sit back and down until you touch the bench.
- Keep the weight in the feet, not on the seat.
- Stand up tall, knees over the toes.
Common mistakes
Plopping onto the bench: touch it and go. Rocking back to get up: lean slightly forward, weight over the mid-foot. Knees caving on the way up: push them out.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
