Bodyweight Pulse Squat
Squat to the bottom, rise a hand's width and sink back down once, then stand; the extra pulse keeps the thighs loaded at depth.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, arms held straight out in front.
Steps
- Squat down to parallel or below.
- Rise a hand's width and sink back to the bottom.
- Stand all the way up to finish the rep.
Common mistakes
Pulsing with a bounce: control both the rise and the sink. Heels lifting at the bottom: weight over the middle of the foot. Cutting the stand short: full extension between pulses.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
