Wide Bench Air Squat
The wide-stance bodyweight squat down to a bench behind, arms reaching forward; the bench sets the depth.
How to do it
Setup
Feet wide, toes out, a bench just behind, arms forward.
Steps
- Lower between the heels until the bench meets the hips.
- Knees open over the toes.
- Stand, arms still reaching forward.
Common mistakes
Resting on the bench: touch it and rise at once. Knees caving in the wide stance: drive them out over the toes. Leaning forward over the knees: sit back and down between the heels.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
