Frog Squat
A bodyweight squat pulsed in the bottom half with the hands clasped at the chest; the thighs never get the rest of standing up.
How to do it
Setup
Feet a little wider than the hips, toes turned out, hands clasped in front of the chest.
Steps
- Squat until the thighs are about level with the floor.
- Bob up and down a hand's width without leaving the bottom half.
- Keep the chest up and the heels down for the whole set.
Common mistakes
Standing up between pulses: stay low; the pulses are the set. Knees caving as the thighs tire: push them out over the toes. Chest dropping toward the knees: lift it and keep the hands at the chest.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
