Resistance Band Full Squat
The back squat with a loop band just above the knees; the knees push out against it all the way down and up.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the upper back, a loop band above the knees, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Sit down to full depth, knees pressing into the band.
- Keep the band taut at the bottom.
- Stand, still pushing the knees out.
Common mistakes
Knees snapping inward under the band: push them out over the toes. Band sliding down the shins: set it just above the knees. Cutting depth to ease the band: go full depth.
Breathing
Big breath at the top, exhale past the sticking point.
